Give thanks to the LORD

Give thanks to the LORD

Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.

      Psalm 105:1

                This song sung as a part of the celebration of David’s bringing the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem. Remembering the miracles and praising God encourages us to keep living close to Him.

                We give thanks to Him for all the favours we sing psalms to honour God. For He alone deserves to be called upon to praise and to rely on. Like David we have to recount the amazing deeds God has done in the sight of all people. As in many other places in the psalms, God’s children are told the importance of praising Him in song. The songs should be sung to Him and not to an audience or merely for one’s own pleasure. Praise magnifies the Lord attributing power, holiness and glory to Him. Praise also intensifies an appreciation of the history of redemption. And praise witnesses to those outside the covenant community.

                God’s children should never forget His marvelous works.  It dishonor’s God when we forget His great works. If we keep them in remembrance our faith would be stronger and our devotion more fervent.

                Through praise and worship there is deliverance. Praise and prayer are our expressions of devotion to the Lord.

                We celebrate God’s past saving acts, we trusts Him for future deliverance. Let us give a grateful praise of thanksgiving.

God bless you all.

Give thanks to the Lord

Give thanks to the Lord

Give thanks to the Lord

[For what all we have to say thank you Lord]

                Thankfulness to God should be constant in our lives. We have to recount how we are saved, and the blessing of righteous living. Praise God for His deliverance and His words. The Psalmist in Psalm 107 has recorded how God is worthy of all our praises. He deserves our praise because His endless love never fails.

Give thanks to the Lord for he is good

Give thanks for He has redeemed us

Give thanks for we are delivered from distress

Give thanks for He is leading us in straight way

Give thanks for His unfailing love and wonderful deeds for us

Give thanks for He gives good things

Give thanks for He hears our cry when in trouble

Give thanks for He brought us out of darkness and deepest gloom

Give thanks for He broke our chains

Give thanks for He breaks down gates of bronze

Give thanks for he cuts through bars of Iron for us

Give thanks for He sent His word to heal us

Give thanks for He rescued us from the grave

Give thanks for He stilled the storms and waves in our lives.

Give thanks for He turned desert into pools, and parched ground into flowing springs

Give thanks for He has given a city to settle

Give thanks for a fruitful harvest

Give thanks for He blessed us to greatly increase in number

 

 

Give thanks for he made us wicked to shut their mouths

Give thanks for the great love of God

 

                 Dearly beloved in Christ let us not remain silent, but praise God always for His loving kindness.
