O’ Give Thanks Unto The Lord
“O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!” (Psalms 107:1-15)
Today’s Morsel: As all men should do, at all times and for all things; the Psalmist begins as he often does, and gives the same reasons for thanksgiving. For He (God) is good; and does good and is the author of all good. For His mercy endures forever; and men in every age are partakers of it. Jeremiah says that God’s mercies are renewed every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Think about the word forever. It means unending, everlasting, always, eternally. Therefore, when we consider the goodness of God and His mercies, we ought to be thankful to Him and bless His name. I hear folks who say that they don’t have anything to be thankful for. Those who make such comments are those who do not know Christ or have a relationship with Him. But the people that do know their God, understand that His lovingkindness is better than life, and that without Him they can do nothing, those are the people that give thanks to the Lord.
Sing: Give thanks with a grateful heart, give thanks, to the holy one, give thanks, because He’s given Jesus Christ His Son. And now, let the weak say I am strong, let the poor say I am rich, because of what the Lord hath done for us, give thanks.
Thought For Today: A
relationship in Christ is seen by the gratitude of the people.
