I am obligated by vows to you, God; 

I will make my thanksgiving sacrifices to you.  

For you rescued me from death, 

even my feet from stumbling, 

to walk before God 

in the light of life.

Psalms 56:12-13 CSB

Being thankful is free, but has the ability to change my mood, my outlook, my day, my trajectory.

David is thankful for the big things - being saved from death - and from the seemingly small - from tripping up.

He's not only thankful for what he's been saved from, but what he's been saved for:

"to walk before God

in the light of life"

Quite a thing to think about that we walk before God, kind of makes me think of my life a little differently.

It's only in the light of Jesus life that I get to do anything in the sight of God.

It's his life that sets me free.

It's his life that deals with my stuff in a way I never can.

It's Jesus life that I can be thankful for, the life that made a way for me, is making a way, and we are all one day closer to seeing face to face
