Give Thanks To The LORD: The Enduring Goodness of God

Thankfulness Devotional

As we settle into this season of thanksgiving, it’s the perfect time to pause and remember—being thankful is more than just good manners. It’s a part of our worship. One big reason we give thanks? Because God is so good. I mean truly, deeply, endlessly good.

When I read scripture, I’m constantly reminded of just how good He is. It jumps off the pages in verses like this one from 1 Chronicles 16:34:

“O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.”

That verse isn’t just pretty words—it’s truth. And it still hits home every time I read it.


What Does God’s Goodness Really Mean?

We usually think of “goodness” as being kind, doing right by people, or being helpful. And yes, those things matter. But God’s goodness? It goes way beyond that. It’s not something He does—it’s who He is.

There’s no shadow in Him. No hidden agenda. His heart is pure, His intentions are always right, and His mercy? Unshakable. Even when life feels heavy, messy, or just plain hard, He doesn’t change. His goodness doesn’t take a break.

And let’s be honest—some days it’s easy to forget that. We get buried under stress, pain, or loss, and suddenly God’s goodness feels far away. But friend, the truth is… it’s still there. Still working. Still holding you together, even when you can’t feel it.


Prayer for Today

Lord, thank You for Your never-ending goodness. Even when life feels uncertain, You remain steady. Help me not to overlook the ways You show up for me each day—with grace, with mercy, with love. Fill my heart with thankfulness, not just today but every day. Let my gratitude be a reminder to my soul that You are always near, always kind, always good. In Jesus' name, Amen.


Before You Go: A Little Reminder

Don't rush past this moment. Take some time today to think about how God has been good to you. Maybe it was in the little things—a smile from a stranger, strength to get through the day, peace in the middle of chaos. Or maybe it was something big. Either way, His goodness has been there.

Take a deep breath. Whisper a thank you. Write it down. Share it with someone. Let your heart settle into gratitude—because God’s goodness isn’t just a Sunday sermon… it’s your everyday reality.
