Verse of the Day 4/26

Verse of the Day 4/26

Psalm 107:1-2

New International Version

1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
    his love endures forever.

2 Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—
    those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,

We've recently considered God's great grace, His great mercy and great salvation that is offered to us.  These are all things for which we can and should give our thanks and praise to God for.  As these verses remind us, He is good and His love endures forever.

Our son Jeff is probably one of the most thankful people that you could ever meet and he expresses his thanks to everyone he comes in contact with for the smallest things, blessings that most people would take for granted.  As His father it brings me joy to hear it.  Most mornings when I go in to give him his medications and to see to his needs to start the day, the first words out of his mouth are most often "thank you".  He humbles me.

We should have the same attitude towards God.  Not just before meals or at church or Bible studies, but many times a day we should find all kinds of reasons to thank God, realizing "that He is good" and that His love endures, it has and will last forever.

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

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 has done for us".           (Give Thanks - Don Moen)

.

Give thanks.

Blessings,

Mike

BOOK V

Psalms 107–150

Psalm 107

1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
    his love endures forever.

2 Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—
    those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
3 those he gathered from the lands,
    from east and west, from north and south.[a]

4 Some wandered in desert wastelands,
    finding no way to a city where they could settle.
5 They were hungry and thirsty,
    and their lives ebbed away.
6 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he delivered them from their distress.
7 He led them by a straight way
    to a city where they could settle.
8 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
    and his wonderful deeds for mankind,
9 for he satisfies the thirsty
    and fills the hungry with good things.
