"Give thanks to the Lord. Call on His name. Make known among the nations what He has done." Psalm 105:1
This verse is very simple, yet it contains statements that can be very difficult to do.
1. Give thanks. Thank Him for Who He is, for what He has done for you, for His blessings, for the people in your life. Sometimes this can be difficult. No one knew better than Job how difficult life can be. But when his whole life was taken away from him, Job still worshipped. Another difficult thing to do is give thanks for an answer that is yet to be received. When you pray for something and God says that He is going to answer you, you are thankful. But when you go for months, or even years, without seeing the answer to the prayer, can you still thank Him? We should. That is the very essence of faith, and a very difficult thing to do. So we try to leave it at the Father's feet. The problem is, we take it back. Is that faith? Every one of us has something to be thankful for. So thank Him.
2. Call on Him. The Hebrew word for call means to call out to, to cry unto, and the Greek word means to call a person by name. So calling is more like crying out to Him...
