Psalm 107:1 - TRUE THANKSGIVING!
Psalm 107:1 (NIV) Give thanks to the LORD,
for he is good; his love endures forever.
COMMENTARY PEARL
Separated from friends, unjustly accused,
brutally treated - if any man had a right to complain
it was this man, languishing almost forgotten
in a harsh Roman prison. But instead of
complaints, his lips rang with words of praise and
thanksgiving!
This was the apostle Paul - a man who had
learned the meaning of true thanksgiving, even in
the midst of great adversity. Look carefully at
what he wrote during that prison experience:
"Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord,
always giving thanks to God the Father for
everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Eph.
5:19-20 NIV).
Think of it! "Always giving thanks ...
for everything" no matter the circumstances. His
guards and fellow prisoners must have thought him
crazy - but that didn't stop him. Thanksgiving for
Paul was not a once-a-year celebration, but a
daily reality that made him a joyful person in
every situation. May that be true of us.
Because of what Christ has done, we, too,
can sing songs of praise at midnight (Acts
16:25). No matter how dark the season or how
painful the trial. God is still good and worthy of
praise. [Hope for Each Day by Billy Graham]
