Thanksgiving Turns Away Wrath

Psalm 50:22, 23
"Mark this then, you who forget God, lest I tear you apart, and there be none to deliver! The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God"

Wow. Strong words from the mouth of God to each of us. I find myself shaken by the words God gives through Asaph. I wonder how often I flirt with being "torn apart" because I forget where all that I have comes from. Isn't it so easy to forget that God is the creater of the universe, that he's omnipotent, omniscient and soverign? That every single molecule and source of energy in the universe was created by him and it's only by his might and power that it's sustained? Doesn't that just blow your mind? If it doesn't...why the heck not? Ask yourself, to what degree do I recognize this on a daily basis? And to what degree do I bow before the Creator and give thanks to him for all that I have? These are some simple things I thought to be thankful for today:

My Wife
My Job
The team i get to work with at WLA - volunteers or not.
My Faith
My Gifts
The Air I breathe (no, not the song, the actual air that gives me life)

What comes to your mind to thank God for today?
