Psalm 136:1 begins, "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, His loving kindness is everlasting." That last part about His loving kindness being everlasting is repeated 26 times in this psalm, an amazing reminder of just how good and faithful God is. He can be trusted and followed fully.
It is good to take time to thank God; to remember, to reflect, to regain equilibrium in a world that is so un-God-focused that it consistently knocks us off balance.
So today I say "Thank you Jesus" for how good You are! Thank you Jesus for saving my soul! Thank you Jesus for substituting yourself for me! Thank you Jesus."
It is good to give thanks to God. He "inhabits the praises of His people". He is pleased with pure praise, pleased with our offering of thanks.
In the long walk of faith, as we trust God to bring fruit from our lives, trusting in Jesus as our solid foundation in a shaky world, we live with the reality that everything we see here is not all there is. There are future realities in play - heaven awaits. "Thank you Jesus"
