GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD

Passage: Psalm 136:1~26  

Key verse: 26

1. He is our Creator (1-9)

Who is the Lord? This Psalm praises Him for three aspects of the Lord. He is the Lord who created the heavens and the earth. We learn in Genesis that God created everything out of nothing, with only His word. He is the God of gods and the Lord of lords. We are reminded here He did all this out of His love, which endures forever.

2. He is our deliverer (10-22)

The second aspect is His power to deliver His people. Exodus tells us of how God saved His people out of the hands of Pharaoh, brought them through the wilderness, and allowed them to defeat many large and powerful enemies. His power to deliver His people is awesome. He delivered them to the land He had promised to them. The Lord delivers His people because of His abundant, everlasting love.

3. He remembers His own (23-26)

Finally, the Lord always remembers His people. He loves us with a love that endures forever and ever. He remembers us and He frees us from all our enemies. He takes care of every creature, giving them abundant food. Let us remember the Lord today and give thanks to Him.



Prayer: Lord, thank you that you are our awesome God. Thank you for your enduring love for us all.

One Word: Give thanks to the Lord
