Psalm 136:1
Psalm 136:1
O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Giving thanks to the Lord is a natural response to His goodness and mercy. This verse reminds us that God’s goodness is constant and unwavering, and His mercy endures forever. No matter the season, God remains faithful, and His love for us is unchanging. Thanksgiving is not only about acknowledging what God has done, but about recognizing who He is—good, merciful, and loving. Worship is the appropriate response to this realization, as we offer our hearts in gratitude for His kindness. God’s mercy is the foundation of our relationship with Him, and it is through His mercy that we experience forgiveness, grace, and new life. When we give thanks, we acknowledge that God’s goodness is the source of every blessing in our lives. Our worship becomes a declaration of His eternal goodness, and we are reminded that His mercy will never fail us. Praise to God, therefore, becomes not only an expression of thanksgiving but a recognition of His unchanging nature and faithful love.
