TOPIC: GRACE FOR THANKSGIVING

MEMORISE: Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever (Psalm 107:1).

READ : Psalm 107:1

[1]. Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!

For His mercy endures forever.

EXPOSITION

Psalm 107 opens with an exhortation to give thanks to the Lord for His enduring goodness and mercy. Thanksgiving is not merely a religious duty but a heartfelt response to God's character and actions. The psalmist recounts various scenarios where people experienced divine deliverance and restoration, making them to offer praise and thanksgiving to God. The incomparably loving and compassionate God intervened with His saving power. That His mercy endures forever shows the enduring nature of His grace and compassion towards His people.

As recipients of God's abundant grace and mercy, we must cultivate a lifestyle of thanksgiving, just as the psalmist encourages expressing gratitude for His faithfulness in our lives. Thanksgiving is a powerful spiritual discipline that fosters intimacy with God and nurtures a heart of worship. Acknowledging God's goodness and mercy helps us to align our hearts with His will and experience His presence deeply. So, give thanks to the Lord for His enduring love and faithfulness to you and everything that is yours.

PRAYER POINTS

1. Lord, I thank You for Your goodness and mercy that endure forever.

2. Grant me a heart overflowing with gratitude, Oh Lord, for Your countless blessings.

3. Lord, make our churches true centres of Your worship.

SUGGESTED HYMN FOR TODAY:

1. Praise the King of Glory,

He is God alone:

Praise Him for the wonders,

He to us hath shown;

For His promised presence,

All the pilgrim way,

For the flaming pillar,

And the cloud by day.

Chorus:

Praise …Him, shining angels,

Strike …Your harps of gold,

All ….His hosts adore Him,

Who….His face behold;

Through …His great dominion.

While …the ages roll

All His works shall praise Him

All His works shall praise Him

Bless the Lord, my soul!.

2. Praise Him for redemption, free to every soul;

Praise Him for the Fountain that can make us whole;

For His gifts of Kindness and His loving care,

For the blest assurance that He answers prayer.

3. Praise Him for the trials sent as cords of love

Binding us more closely to the things above;

For the faith that conquers, hope that naught can dim,

For the land where loved ones gather unto Him.

Amen.
