Psalm 122

It only took me about one minute to read this psalm of David. Verses 3-5 give the defining characteristic for those who are Israel - to give thanks to God. I often think of circumcision and the Law as the things that define Israel, but here David give a different perspective on the concept. A thankful heart requires a lot of ingredients; all of which develop from a deep and comitted relationship with God. Humility, availability, faith, and wisdom are just some of the traits we need to develop in order to grow a heart that is thankful to God.
