TOPIC:  THE BLESSEDNESS OF THANKGIVING

TEXT:  "It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to your name, O most high." (Psalm 92:1)

Psalm 92 is a "song for the Sabbath day", a resting place for those who are troubled.
The song begins with a commendation of praise:

"It is good to give thanks to the Lord." It does us good to turn our unsettling and anxious thought to declare God's "loving kindness in the morning, and (His) faithfulness every night"(v:2). God loves us and is always faithful! He makes us glad.(v:4). Praise doesn't just make us glad, it makes us wise. We begin to understand something of God's greatness and creative design in all that He does (v:5-9). We gain wisdom that was hidden from those who do not know God. The wicked may "flourish" and "spring up like the grass" for a moment (v:7), but ultimately they will wither away. The righteous however, are joined to the one who dwells in eternity (v:8). They "flourish like the palm tree" and "like a cedar in Lebanon"(v:12), symbols of graceful beauty and an unbending strength. For they have been "planted in the house of the LORD"(v:13). Their roots go down into the soil of God's faithfulness: they draw on His unquenchable love.
Give thanks and praise to the Lord today.

THE PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY

The Sovereign Lord says today keep hoping and expecting. In this season of your life I'm going to render unto you the double. You have hoped and continued to hope and haven't given up on your dreams. Therefore, I say to you as I spoke through Zechariah of old "Turn you to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope ... even today do I declare that I will render double to you". My salvation will be seen in your land says the Lord. My glory will be seen over you and My arrows will go forth as the lightning in your defense. This day I will blow the trumpet and there shall go with whirlwinds of My Spirit over, around and through you. I will defend you and empower you to subdue your enemies. I will save you and those you love as a shepherd saves His flock and you will know again exaltation and joy and safety by My hand.
