Praise the Lord!
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!
Psalm 106: 1 [ESV]
If you don’t know this Psalm, or have your Bible to hand, then I recommend that you read it in its entirety, or at least a good portion of it. Here is a link.
You will be familiar with singing a worship song based on it. YouTube 3:29
Sing along if you want to, but I would rather you didn’t, yet. You see, the fact is that the worship song is wonderful, but it only makes implicit what the Psalm makes explicit. If you read the Psalm you will read that time and time again the people of Israel saw the wonderful acts of God, sang praise and then forgot about God and turned their back on him.
So, can we learn the lesson that Israel failed to learn time and time again?
For prayer: talk to God about remembering his marvelous deeds at all times.
John Martin-Jones
