Being imperfect doesn't disqualify us from serving God;
it just emphasizes our dependence on His mercy.

When
I visited Mexico, I wished I knew how to speak Spanish. I could say gracias (thank
you), muy
bien (very good), and hola (hello).
But that was
about it.
I
grew tired of just saying
gracias to everyone who talked with
me or did something for me.
But we should never grow tired
of giving words of thanks to
God.
David knew the importance
of saying thanks. After he became king over Israel and had a tent
constructed to house the ark of the covenant (where God’s presence
dwelt), he appointed some of the Levites “to commemorate, to
thank, and to praise the Lord” (1 Chron.
16:4). Many people remained there to offer sacrifices and give thanks
to God daily (vv.37-38).  His psalm gave thanks for what the Lord had done: “His deeds among the peoples” (v.8), “His wondrous works” (v.9), “His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth” (v.12), and His “salvation” (v.35).
David’s song
also gave praise for who the Lord was:
good, merciful, and holy (vv.34-35). |

Oh, give thanks to the Lord! —1 Chronicles 16:8 |
Like
David, we should never grow tired of sayinggracias to God for who He is and
for all He’s done for us. Take time today to offer your sacrifice of
praise to Him.
