Psalms Of Praise And The WordНамуна

A Lofty and Lowly Love

Everyone loves to be thanked, and God is no exception. Psalm 136 begins, “Let everyone thank God, for he is good.” The songwriter then lists reasons why we should be grateful: God is king over all gods, he is Lord of Lords, the miracle-working Lord, the Creator who has filled the heavens with revelation, the Deliverer of his children, the Leader of his people, the Vanquisher of his enemies, and the Great Provider.

Above all, he is the one “who chose us when we were nothing!” (v. 23, TPT) You were nothing, but God came looking for you, rescued you, adopted you, and made something out of you. Let’s live in constant gratitude.

Listen to God’s word of affirmation over you: “You’re my special treasure.” How does it make you feel to be so treasured by the infinite and all-powerful God? Turn your response into heartfelt thanksgiving.

Psalm 136:23 The Passion Translation

“He’s the God who chose us when we were nothing! His tender love for us continues on forever!”
