Psalm 75:1, 9 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare….But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to thee God of Jacob.
With Asaph, we respond to God’s works and wonders, love and grace,by giving thanks and praise always, for God is always good, kind, loving, and merciful forever. With my life of thanksgiving I will declare the wondrous works of God for my life and salvation. I declare by going to church to sing praises and by living a life constantly thanking and praising Him.
Because of the life given to me by the Holy Spirit through the Gospel, I will always be thankful, praise without ceasing, and declare forever that God is good all the time. Thanks and praise is always good and right, no matter how I feel nor how difficult life on earth becomes. God’s name, His presence, is always near, even in my heart and on my lips. His goodness and mercy will follow me every day of my life, and beyond that I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. That will always and forever be true. Therefore, I give Him thanks and praise all the time.
