Give Thanks

O. T. #1304  " Give Thanks"
Oct. 11, 2018
Psalm 92
O LORD, how great are Thy works! And Thy thoughts are very deep. Psalm 92:5

LET IT GLOW

Do you see it-God's powerful works in the world and in our own lives? It was obvious with the powerful 155 mph winds of the hurricane on Wednesday. And then there was the sweet young deer that ran out into the dark road at my husband's door as we went down our country road. It ran along beside us, then as we slowed down, it ran in front, turning into our yard. Had we been a few seconds later, our truck would have killed it.

This psalm was composed for joyful singing on the Sabbath during Israel's worship. It is one of the praise psalms or thanksgiving psalms. They were sung to express the greatness of their God.

The works of Jehovah are great in number, great in design, great in glory, and great in consequence. (Falwell)

LET IT GROW

According to this psalm, what should we believers be doing?

• give thanks to the Lord; (verse 1)
• song His praises;
• proclaim God's unfailing love in the morning; (verse 2)
• and His faithfulness in the evening;
• use instruments to do so; (verse 3)
• sing for joy because of what He has done; (verse 4)
• exalt the Lord forever; (verse 8) 

We can never give enough thanks to our God. It is not just for the old, but also for the young. It is not just for Thanksgiving Day, but for everyday.

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!  Romans 11:33


LET IT GO

Give thanks unto the Lord for He is good. His mercies endure forever.
