Gratitude Rhythm

The other day I was reading in 1 Chronicles 23 about how David set up God's temple. He had the Levites. who were the workers in the temple standing thanking and praising God every morning and evening, on the Sabbaths( weekly), on the New Moons( the start of the month), and on the feast days(the yearly holidays).

This short passage combines two very powerful principles... gratitude and rhythm.

Gratitude is one of the greatest expressions of faith, and one of the things God wants most from us. 

The temple in the Old Testament had a rhythm of morning and evening, weekly, monthly, and the yearly cycle. 

Our bodies are the temple now, and we can stand thanking and praising him on this rhythm. 

When these two principles are combined it is very powerful.
