92:1,2During the Thanksgiving holiday, we focus on our blessings and express our gratitude to God for them. But thanks should be on our lips every day. We can never say thank you enough to parents, friends, leaders, and especially to God. When thanksgiving becomes an integral part of your life, you will find that your attitude toward life will change. You will become more positive, gracious, loving, and humble.

92Psalm 92
Author: Anonymous
192 A psalm. A song to be sung on the Sabbath Day.It is good to give thanks to the LORD,to sing praises to the Most High.
2It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning,your faithfulness in the evening,3 accompanied by the ten-stringed harpand the melody of the lyre.
4You thrill me, LORD, with all you have done for me!I sing for joy because of what you have done.
5O LORD, what great works you do!And how deep are your thoughts.
6Only a simpleton would not know,and only a fool would not understand this:
7Though the wicked sprout like weedsand evildoers flourish,they will be destroyed forever.
8But you, O Lor», will be exalted forever.
9Your enemies, LORD, will surely perish;all evildoers will be scattered.
10But you have made me as strong as a wild ox.You have anointed me with the finest oil.
11My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies,my ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents.
12But the godly will flourish like palm treesand grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon.
13For they are transplanted to the LORD’s own house.They flourish in the courts of our God.
14Even in old age they will still produce fruit;they will remain vital and green.
15They will declare, “The LORD is just!He is my rock!There is no evil in him!”Theme: God’s unchanging and almighty nature. His creation reminds us of his greatpower.Author: Anonymousg 3 'The LORD is king! He is robed in majesty.Indeed, the LORD is robed in majesty and armed with strength.The world stands firm

92:12,13Palm trees are known for their long life. To flourish like palm trees means to stand tall and to live long. The cedars of Lebanon grew to 120 feet in height and up to 30 feet in circum- ference; thus, they were solid, strong, and immovable. The writer Saw believers as upright, strong, and unmoved by the winds of circumstance. Those who place their faith firmly in God can have this strength and vitality.
92:14Honoring God is not restricted to young people who seem to have unlimited strength and energy. Even in old age, devout believers can produce spiritual fruit. There are many faithful older People who continue to have a fresh outlook and can teach us from a lifetime of experience of serving God. Seek out an elderly friend or relative who can tell you about his or her experiences with the LORD and challenge you to new heights of spiritual growth.
