O Give Thanks

“O give Thanks unto the Lord; call upon His name: make known His deeds among the people. Sing unto Him, Sing Psalms unto Him: talk ye of all His Wondrous Works. Glory ye in His Holy name:” Ps.105:1-8

   

Yes, Yes! O Give Thanks unto the Lord!  We have looked at Worshiping in the Beauty of Holiness, and how blessed we are to have the freedom to Worship our God!  In this Thanksgiving Season let us raise our voice in Joyous Worship, even as the Psalmist hath declared “Make known His deeds among the people! Let us Sing His Praises and talk of all His wondrous Love to us!  Yes, even as Paul was moved by the Holy Spirit in Eph. 5:18-20 “…Be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord!”Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; O Church, let us rise up in Praise, and Adoration and Worship the Lord Most High! The enemy seeks to devour the Joy that God has placed in our heart, but our Joy is not defined by the circumstances, it is defined by the Love of our God and the Salvation of our Saviour! And we are more than conquerors in Him!  Over and over the Psalmist cries out O Give Thanks!  Remember David in the horrific circumstances of his life, yet out of his inner most being came the voice of Praise and Thanksgiving!  Let us prepare our hearts as come together with our families for the Thanksgiving dinner, prepare to share the Joy of Jesus the greatness of His Powerful Word that sustains us in the time of trouble … David, caught by the Philistines, his enemy;  in Ps. 56:2-3, he writes:  “Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O Thou Most High. What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee!  O Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His Holiness!  This question is posed in Ps. 106:1-2 “Praise ye the Lord. O give Thanks unto the Lord; for He is Good: for His Mercy endureth for ever. Who can utter the Mighty Acts of the Lord? Who can shew forth all His Praise!” and Ps 107:2 answer: Let the Redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He hath Redeemed from the hand of the enemy. I am Thankful for Jesus and for You, Loving you, Pastor
