Random Bible Verse About Gratitude

The Psalms drive this pool, and Psalm 100 sits at its centre with the instruction to enter his gates with thanksgiving. Around it are the psalms that open by giving thanks because his mercy endures for ever, a line repeated so often it works as a refrain. Paul's letters supply the harder verses, the ones telling you to give thanks in everything rather than for the pleasant parts only. Jonah's thanksgiving is here too, offered from inside the fish, which sets the bar somewhere unusual.
