📖 Thankful Thursday — Know His Ways

Psalm 103 is one of the most loved chapters in the Bible.

Many of us know its beautiful reminders of God's forgiveness, compassion, and love.

But this week, one verse stopped me in my tracks.

"He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel." (Psalm 103:7)

Israel witnessed God's mighty acts.

They saw the Red Sea part.

They ate manna in the wilderness.

They watched miracle after miracle.

But David says something different about Moses.

Moses came to know God's ways.

He came to know God's heart.

💭 Today's Truth

Thankfulness grows deeper when we remember who God is—not just what He has done.

It's easy to spend our prayers thanking God for His blessings.

And we should.

But there is an even deeper place of worship.

When we begin to thank Him for His character...

for His compassion...

His grace...

His patience...

His faithful love...

our gratitude becomes rooted in something that never changes.

🙏 Today's Prayer

Lord, thank You not only for all You have done for me, but for who You are. Thank You that You are compassionate, gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness. Help me move beyond simply celebrating Your gifts to delighting in Your heart. Teach me Your ways, not just Your works, and let knowing You become my greatest joy. In Jesus' name, Amen.

If these words express your heart today, make them your prayer. Or find your own words and spend a few moments honestly talking with the Lord.

📖 And one more thing...

This weekend, if you'd like to read ahead, spend a little time in Exodus 33 and 34

Moses asks God one unforgettable request: "Show me Your glory."

God's answer has been stirring my heart all week, and I can't wait to explore it together.

I think you're going to love where we're headed next.
