Poem: Thank You, Lord | Thank you lord, Lord, Love scriptures

“O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.” -Psalm 136:1,26

This verse from Psalm 136 is a beautiful reminder of the boundless mercy and enduring goodness of the Lord. It calls us to offer our thanks, not just in moments of joy and prosperity, but continually, recognizing the steadfast love that God extends to us in every circumstance.

Reflective Questions:

  • How often do we pause to thank the Lord for His endless mercy?

  • In what ways have we experienced God’s goodness in our lives recently?

  • How can we incorporate gratitude into our daily routines, acknowledging God’s perpetual compassion?

Supportive Scriptures:

  • Lamentations 3:22-23: “It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”

  • Psalm 100:5: “For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.”

  • James 1:17: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”

The Lord’s Mercy and Endurance:

God’s mercy is a testament to His patience and compassion towards His children. Despite our shortcomings and failures, His mercy remains steadfast. In biblical times, the Israelites experienced God’s mercy repeatedly, even when they turned away from Him. His patience with them was a sign of His enduring love and commitment. Today, we too experience this enduring mercy in our lives. Each day we wake up, each opportunity for redemption, and each instance of grace is a reflection of God’s unwavering mercy. His compassion is not fleeting or conditional but an eternal truth that we can depend on.

Moral Takeaways:

  • Gratitude: Cultivating a heart of thankfulness helps us stay grounded in the knowledge of God’s goodness.

  • Faith: Trusting in God’s enduring mercy allows us to face life’s challenges with hope.

  • Reflection: Regularly reflecting on our experiences of God’s mercy can deepen our relationship with Him.

Biblical Times vs. Today:

In biblical times, the psalmist’s call to give thanks was a communal act, a declaration of God’s deeds among His people. Today, while our contexts have changed, the essence of gratitude remains the same. Whether through personal prayer, community worship, or acts of kindness, expressing gratitude for God’s mercy continues to be a vital practice.

Scripture to Ponder for the Day:

Micah 7:18: “Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we give thanks to You for Your unfailing goodness and enduring mercy. In moments of joy and in times of struggle, Your love remains constant. Help us to cultivate hearts of gratitude, always mindful of Your blessings. May Your patience and compassion guide us in our journey, and may we reflect Your love in our interactions with others. Bless us, Lord, and keep us ever close to Your heart. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Blessing for the Readers:

May the unending mercy and compassion of the Lord fill your hearts with peace and gratitude. May you find strength in His patience and joy in His goodness, and may His everlasting love guide you through every season of life.

God Bless You All~

HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER - HOPE CHURCH TORONTO WEST

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:

And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. 

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the
patient waiting for Christ. –

2 Thessalonians 3-1-5 (KJV) 

 

There is a song —” Just say Amen!” — and it exalts the LORD for all He has done, is doing, and will continue to do for His children.  And, so it goes, “If anyone here knows He is faithful, is there anyone here who knows He is able, Just say Amen…”

The song brings tears of joy and hope to the eyes of the faithful, it is a moving and powerful song that gets me every time I hear it-and most of all, it is so true.

Almost everyone has a story to tell and moments that led up to that story, and currently living out that story in heights of glory for the LORD thanks to His grace and love.

Giving Him glory and praise and saying Amen to all He is and continues to be it a joyful and fantastic way of spending our time during our life.  He is the center of all that we are, all that we do, and all that we see, hear, taste, feel and experience.  When we walk with Him and hold onto His ways and listen to His voice, we will be spiritually enacted and cohesively react according to the principles of the Word -and Him.

Joyful, Joyful, and so amazing is my Lord and His love for me!

Hold Him in your heart, mind, and soul.  Think of Him and ask Him for guidance in all that you do.

And think back about what He has done in your life.  When you pray, reflect on your blessings and how He HAS blessed you over and over. Think of the times He has moved mightily in your life -before complaining about “but He isn’t hearing my prayers now.”  No.  That’s not so!  He listens to the cries of His children.  He knows our needs.  And He does hear always.   It has to be in His time, and according to His will.

So, think back to all He has done for you, or someone you love or know.  And, then realize that He is there for us always and always will be. I invite you to just be patient and continue giving Him praise, glory and obedience in reflection of His love and His will, today and all the days on earth, and then eventually into the glorious entrance of heaven where we will live on in eternity!

“Thank You Lord, I know You are able, and You are faithful, and You are mighty, and You are powerful, and thank You for Your steadfast love, endurance and compassion, I love You now and always, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
