Psalms 9: 1-2 1 I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. 2 I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.

david is one of my favorite bible heros... I find him to be such an amazing man... david.. who really did more than most... does not.. come across as if he thinks he is anything... he often states that he can't imagine why God even looks at him... he never became puffed up or full of himself...

he screwed up pretty regularly... yet he was always in the habit of praising God despite his circumstance... saul chasing him down and trying to kill him for 20years really was none of his own doing.. saul was just a loon... full of evil spirits.. and david did nothing against him.. kept on praising God for his goodness through the whole thing...

I think that thankfulness is almost an attitude... grateful for what is rather than what could be... when I was young I was so selfish and so ungrateful... as I have gone through life's trials and been shaken and tossed to and fro I realize that God is my everything.. He is my anchor... my peace.. my God... my Father..

I have no idea why God looks at me.. what He sees in me.. but I am so thankful that He does..
