Daily Chizuk #1568

We say everyday in Pesukei DeZimra, "אהללה ה' בחיי. The Ketav Sofer explains that this means we should praise Hashem simply for the gift of life itself. "אזמרה לאלוקי בעודי"—I will sing to Hashem for all the extras He gives me. When we truly recognize our blessings, we will not only praise Hashem, but we will sing to Him with joy. There are so many potential dangers in the world, and Hashem, who is the Shomer Yisrael, is constantly watching over us. We have no idea about how much Hashem protects us, but we do know that He does, and we must thank Him for that, too.
We have no idea how much Hashem protects us every single day. It is our responsibility to thank and praise Him for the life that He gives us.
