AT RBC Ministries, our human resources team has developed an effective and encouraging program that centers around gratefulness.

When an employee notices something good another employee does here at the office, he or she can take a special "Thank You: card provided by human resources and write a note of appreciation. It's a good feeling to walk into your office and find one of those cards on your desk.

Isn't it great to be thanked for a job well done? Doesn't a good, hearty "thank you" brighten your day? And doesn't it make your relationships a little more special--just to know that your work is not being taken for granted?

Everybody loves to be thanked. Even God. Our heavenly Father finds pleasure in our expression of thanks to Him. It's His will that we tell him "Thank You." "Give thanks in all circumstances," Paul said, "for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus' (1 Thess. 5:18 NIV). The writer of Hebrews took it a step further by saying, "Let us be thankful, and so worship God" (12:28 NIV).

Keep looking for ways to improve your relationship with God. Don't forget what may be the most basic way to worship and honor Him: Tell Him "Thanks." __Dave Branon

The worship most acceptable to God
comes from a thankful heart.

**************Today's Bible Reading __ Psalm 105:1-5************

1 Oh, give thanks to the
LORD! Call upon His name;
make known His deeds
among the peoples!

2 Sing to Him, sing psalms
to Him; talk of all His
wondrous works!

3 Glory in His holy name;
let the hearts of those
rejoice who seek the LORD!

4 Seek the LORD and His
strength; seek His face
evermore!

5 Remember His
marvelous works which He
has done, His wonders, and
the judgments of His
mouth.

Psalm 105 is a historical psalm. The psalmist recalls specific events
in the nation's history: Abraham (vv.9-15; Gen. 20), Joseph (vv.16-
22; Gen. 39-41), Moses (vv.26-41; Ex. 7-17), with specific mention
made of God's deliverance through the 10 plagues (vv.28-36), to the
occupation of the land under Joshua (vv.42-45; Josh. 1-23). Their
story from Ur, to Canaan is the story of God's faithfulness. The psalmist reminds the people that God is faithful (vv.7-11) and urges the people to be faithful--to "observe His statutes and keep His laws" (vv.43-45). In
highlighting God's dealings with the people, the psalmist hopes to
invoke deep gratitude for the mighty and benevolent acts of God
toward them (vv.1-5). SIM KAY TEE
