GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD

Psalm 136:1-26 / Keywords 136:26

GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD

 

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.
