Give Thanks for God is Good

I’m sure every one of us would be able to think of several things we are thankful for.  Oftentimes, family members will share what they are thankful for around the Thanksgiving table.  

One of my favorite Psalms, Psalm 136, emphatically shares over and over again why the Psalmist is thankful.  He begins his call to praise the Lord–our one true God, whose love endures forever!

“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, His love endures forever.

Give thanks to the God of gods; His love endures forever.

Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever.”  Psalm 136: 1-3

There are few things in this life that go on forever.  God’s love will never change.  He doesn’t love us one day and then dislike us the next.  His love is unconditional.  

Let’s look at some of the reasons the Psalmist gives us reason to praise Him.  This Psalm is clearly a call to praise.  Take a minute and focus on what God has done and remember what He still can do.
