Praise ye the LORD
Give thanks unto the LORD
Why?
Because He is good,
Because His mercy endures forever.
To whom does the LORD show His mercy? Psalm 103:17 answers this question, “But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children.” God shows His mercy to them that fear Him. Those that fear God will be blessed, and their children and grandchildren will be blessed as well.
God shows His goodness to those who love His word and believe it and keep it. Psalm 119:65-68 says, “Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word. 66Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. 67Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. 68Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.”
Thank You, LORD, for Your mercy and goodness. Thank You, LORD, for telling me how I can experience Your mercy and goodness in my life. You are greatly to be praised!
