Revelation of the Word:

THEME: GIVE THANKS TO GOD

Psalms 103:1-8 NIV

“Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel: The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.”

INSIGHT

-David understood that true worship was something deeply inward, of the soul. It is not just about outward forms or expressions, but he worshipped had to be more than superficial; it had to be offered as completely as possible. He wanted everything within to praise God. Thanksgiving cannot be sincere and hearty, unless a man bear impressed upon his mind, at the time, a quick sense of benefits received. One of the great benefits mentioned in is the forgiveness of all our sins. When the magnitude of our sin and the righteousness of God are understood delivering us from eternal death, this forgiveness is a staggering reason for praising and honoring God. Our Lord calls us to give thanks to Him all the time and reference the benefits He has bestowed unto us.

PRAYER
