Praising Gods Goodness
May 17, 2018
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
His love endures forever. Psalm 136:1
Someone in our Bible-study group suggested, Lets write our own psalms! Initially, some protested that they didnt have the flair for writing, but after some encouragement everyone wrote a moving poetic song narrating how God had been working in their lives. Out of trials, protection, provision, and even pain and tears came enduring messages that gave our psalms fascinating themes. Like Psalm 136, each psalm revealed the truth that Gods love endures forever.
We all have a story to tell about Gods lovewhether we write or sing or tell it. For some, our experiences may be dramatic or intenselike the writer of Psalm 136 who recounted how God delivered His people from captivity and conquered His enemies (vv. 1015). Others may simply describe Gods marvelous creation: who by his understanding made the heavens . . . spread out the earth upon the waters . . . made the great lights . . . the sun to govern the day . . . the moon and stars to govern the night (vv. 59).
Remembering who God is and what He has done brings out praise and thanksgiving that glorifies Him. We can then [speak] to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit (Ephesians 5:19) about the goodness of the Lord whose love endures forever! Turn your experience of Gods love into a praise song of your own and enjoy an overflow of His never-ending goodness.
Lord, thank You for the world You made and for the blessings on my life. Fill my heart with gratitude and put words in my mouth to acknowledge and appreciate You.
For all eternity, Gods love endures forever.
As with Psalm 136, many of the psalms encourage us to remember and praise Gods goodness. In Psalm 42, when the writers soul is downcast (v. 5), he remembers by day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me (v. 8). He puts his hope in God, and praises his Savior and God (v. 11). The psalmist David remembers God in the desert and is comforted: On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings (63:67). And in his distress the psalmist Asaph [seeks] the Lord and is prompted to remember the deeds of the Lord; . . . [His] miracles of long ago . . . and meditate on all [His] mighty deeds (77:2, 1012).
What would you include in your psalm of remembrance?

Doesn’t look like training is so much fun tonight. Jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, green eye shadow or the guy washing out his eyes. I wonder just what he saw anyway.
