When
I visited Mexico, I wished I knew how to speak Spanish. I could say gracias (thank
you), muy
bien (very good), and hola (hello). But that was
about it. I grew tired of just saying gracias to everyone who talked with me or did something for me. But we should never grow tired of giving words of thanks to
God. David knew the importance of saying thanks. After he became king over Israel and had a tent constructed to house the ark of the covenant (where God’s presence dwelt), he appointed some of the Levites “to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the Lord” (1 Chron. 16:4). Many people remained there to offer sacrifices and give thanks to God daily (vv.37-38). His psalm gave thanks for what the Lord had done: “His deeds among the peoples” (v.8), “His wondrous works” (v.9), “His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth” (v.12), and His “salvation” (v.35). David’s song
also gave praise for who the Lord was:
good, merciful, and holy (vv.34-35). |
