"The LORD has done great things for us, and we are glad."
If you are a regenerated churchman, then one thing is absolutely true of you: the Lord has done great things for you. To be given Jesus Christ, His righteousness, and His Spirit; to be placed into His church, and to be the recipient of His many tender mercies and gentle benevolences--is to be blessed, indeed.
Flowing from these (most important) spiritual blessings are numerous temporal benefits, as well: family, country, health, sustenance, material goods, and even recreational enjoyments. All God's people have much *more* to be thankful for than any of us could ever adequately enumerate. Let us recognize this--especially in our dark times--and give God proper gratitude.
