PSALM NINE Verse 1

Psalm 9 verse 1 Coverdale version from the Book of Common Prayer

I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, with my whole heart
     I will speak of all thy marvelous works.

Wholehearted gratefulness does not arise out of our baser instincts.

Patience, kindness and goodness do not arise out of the dark;
they are fruit of the Spirit.
When we let the peace and love of Christ to rule in our hearts,
our attitudes, our habits and our motivation is effected.
What prompts wholehearted gratitude ? What prompts the habit of praying ?
The person who lives dynamically his love for God,
who chooses to be led by the Spirit of Christ,
is prompted from within both to speech and action which exudes the love of Christ.
