Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves in them. For God will save Zion and build up the cities of Judah, and people shall dwell there and possess it; the offspring of his servants shall inherit it, and those who love his name shall dwell in it.

It is not only to give thanks in all circumstances, it is to praise You in all circumstances. Will I ever get to the point, Lord, where my constant state is one of praise and thanksgiving? In this life? What sweetness that would be—truly a life in the land of milk and honey.
