Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever. (Psalm 136:1)The 136th Psalm is a beautiful testimony to God's provision and protection. He is Creator, Deliverer and Redeemer. He alone can and will save his people; and we need never fear being forgotten: To the one who remembers us in our low estate (v. 23).
When Judah marched out against the combined armies of Ammon, Moab and Mt. Seir during the reign of Jehoshaphat (2 Chronicles 20:1-29), the battle plan included singing praises to God. The choir - walking point - sang: Give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures forever (2 Chronicles 20:21).
It was in facing a seemingly invincible enemy that the people of Judah needed to be reminded of God's salvation. Psalm 136 may be the full text of their worship hymn.
Give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures forever.
Are you facing a battle this week?
