O give thanks unto the Lord for He is good: for His mercy endureth forever. Psalm 107:1
There is an important truth recorded for us in the history lesson of Psalm 107. Time and again, we see the children of Israel falling into sin, then crying out to the Lord to rescue them. He graciously does, only to have them fall into sin again. What remedy does the psalmist prescribe for this cycle? Thankfulness! “Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men” (v. 8, 15, 21, 31). Thankfulness begets obedience. Let’s learn to be a thankful people! —L. Shatford
Whole-hearted thanksgiving to Thee I will bring
In praise of Thy marvelous deeds I will sing.
—W. H. Doane
