Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!

Let everyone repeat this:  “His faithful love endures forever.”  

And let's not just say this, but let's say it over and over and over today:  “His faithful love endures forever.” 

Because, well...it's true!  And we should also say (and repeat) this today because God repeatedly tells us to

In Psalm 118, God says (to anyone reading His Word): Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!  His faithful love endures forever (Psalm 118:1).  He is addressing all of us.

But then God gets specific about who should repeat “His faithful love endures forever”, and He says: Let all Israel repeat: “His faithful love endures forever”  (Psalm 118:2).

And then God gets more-specific about who should also repeat “His faithful love endures forever”, and He says: Let Aaron’s descendants, the priests, repeat:  “His faithful love endures forever” (Psalm 118:3).

And then God gets less specific and more all-encompassing about who else should repeat “His faithful love endures forever”, and He says: Let all who fear the Lord repeat: “His faithful love endures forever” (Psalm 118:4).

Let all who fear the Lord repeat it!

That's us, Y'all!  All (who fear the Lord) means all...and "all"--is us!

And so, let's enter-in and lock-in to what the Lord is leading us to say and do today.

Let all who fear the Lord repeat: “His faithful love endures forever.”  ~Psalm 118:4

So, let's say it now, and multiple times (repeating) it today, and tomorrow and in our lives: “His faithful love endures forever.” (Psalm 118:4).

Psalm 118 

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!  His faithful love endures forever.  

(2) Let all Israel repeat: “His faithful love endures forever.”  

(3) Let Aaron’s descendants, the priests, repeat:  “His faithful love endures forever.”  

(4) Let all who fear the Lord repeat: “His faithful love endures forever.” 

(5) In my distress I prayed to the Lord, and the Lord answered me and set me free.  (6) The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear.  What can mere people do to me?  (7) Yes, the Lord is for me; he will help me.  I will look in triumph at those who hate me.  

(8) It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people.  (9) It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes...

(14) The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.  (15) Songs of joy and victory are sung in the camp of the godly.  The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things!  

(16) The strong right arm of the Lord is raised in triumph.  The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things!  

(17) I will not die; instead, I will live to tell what the Lord has done.  ~Psalm 118:1-9, 14-17

Let's live today and tell what the Lord has done.  

Look back over Verses 5-16 and may we be reminded of the truth that they hold in our lives.  In our faith.  

And the truth of Who God is and what He has done should cause us to repeat the truth of His Word: Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!  His faithful love endures forever. (Psalm 118:1). 

May we read, pray, say, sing and repeat this today.  

And...if due to our circumstances we cannot "get" there (singing songs of joy and victory and repeating “His faithful love endures forever”)...then I pray that we can. 

That I can. 

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!  His faithful love endures forever.  ~Psalm 118:1

In the Bible, God repeats things that are big things to Him.  A quadruple-mention must mean high value and meaning.   

Psalm 118 

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!  His faithful love endures forever.  

(2) Let all Israel repeat: “His faithful love endures forever.”  

(3) Let Aaron’s descendants, the priests, repeat:  “His faithful love endures forever.”  

(4) Let all who fear the Lord repeat: “His faithful love endures forever.”   ~Psalm 118:1-4

We can say it today: “His faithful love endures forever.”  

We can repeat it today:  “His faithful love endures forever.”  

And in the midst of whatever (high or low) we are encountering today, we can trust the Lord today: “His faithful love endures forever.”  

Blessings, 

Sarah

At work, we provide Trainings for customers, so that they can be updated and educated on all of the latest features (and how to use them) within our product.  Many companies do this--sharing "Best Practices" are a way to ensure positive outcomes on the customer and vendor sides of things. My kids often offer me "life hacks" that they have learned from watching an online video promising to "save time" and "make your life easier".  And just this week, my husband enlightened me about the "tear-away" feature built into most plastic rings holding cans/bottles of pop or Gatorade together.  When separated, the plastic rips open easily, releasing the bottle--saving wildlife that might be caught if it is discarded as trash, and saving me  frustration or angst because I no longer have to pull with all my might to get a bottle out of the plastic rings.  ( Who knew? )  Life hacks do save time and make your life easier! Who couldn't benefit from...

The unanswered “why’s” of life, the disorder of our days, and even the unfairness of our struggles can cause us to question ourselves and also to question our God. But the order-of-Creation and the systems that God has set in place are undeniable answers that swing back and forth like God’s pendulum-reminder that He set the world in motion, and He continues to keep order, even when it seems as if we and our world are in dis- order.   Job was a man going through some heavy and hard stuff.   Maybe we are too.   Job’s trials had caused him to question the order of life, and possibly God’s dominion over it.   We can relate.   The “Why’s?” and the “Why Me’s” can stack up in our minds and hearts, but like a parent exercising loving-authority over a child, God reminds Job and us--of His power, omniscience and of His ultimate authority over everything: Creation… and us today .   Then the  Lord  answered Job from the whirlwind: (2) “Who i...

Running low on " good things " today?  Doesn't it (sometimes) seem like/trend like/read like/tweet like/water-cooler-chat or backyard-fence-visit like/intimidate like/depress like... there are no  good things in the land? . I know. It's no secret that many have abandoned  the Law of the  Lord,  and at times, that's us .   It is evident all around us that people have  followed each other  in this sin.  When we look around...or when we live our days...we can wonder: Are there  any  good things  left in the land? There are still some good things in the land ...and no matter how bleak we feel the "forecast" for today is...there will always  be  some good things in the land, because God is in the land.   T he Bible reminds us of that today.   ~~~ The Israelites (and their king, Rehoboam ) were God's people, but like all of us at times/seasons of our lives...they wandered from Lord and His ways....
