I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Psalm 34:1

 Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were they thankful, but became futile in their thoughts and their foolish hearts were darkened. Romans 1:21.

We have so many reasons to thank God! When we recognize all the good things He does for us it's easy to feel His love, and to be confident in His ongoing provisions. However, failing to thank God is one of the first steps down the slippery slope of unbelief. As Paul wrote to the Romans, when people stop thanking God, their thoughts are useless and their hearts grow dark. Praise God today. Remember that it's easy to go from thanklessness to prayerlessness. Instead, draw near to God and He will draw near to you. (James 4:8).
