Psalm 116, Psalm of Thanksgiving

Narrative Lectionary Key Verse for Today

What shall I return to the Lord for all his bounty to me?
I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord,
I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.
— Psalm 116:12-14

True gratitude leads to action. It’s not just about feeling thankful, or saying “thank you” to another for what they’ve done. Gratitude can’t help but spilling over into the world in all we do and say.

All we have, all we are, is a gift from God. And knowing this, how can we keep from proclaiming our thanks from the rooftops? How can we keep from living our gratitude in love and service to God and neighbor?

What shall we return to the Lord for all God’s bounty to us? Prayer and praise, worship and song in the presence of all God’s people, to be sure!

Abundant and generous God, all I am is a gift from you. Inspire me to grateful action in all I do and say. Amen.
