Psalm 107:8, 15, 21 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men.
Repeated three times in this Psalm, “Praise the Lord” becomes a theme of this Psalm and all the Psalms. Praising the Lord all the time and for everything is the continuing response of the believer, for the goodness of God lasts forever and is always there, and for His wonderful works which is how He shows His goodness and mercy. The goodness of God and the great works of God is shown to us in the gospel of the death and resurrection of Jesus for our salvation.
The effects of this Gospel message are always in effect, for God the Father in Christ through the Spirit is constantly loving, caring, forgiving and saving us. The response of praise never ends as we hold His grace in our spirit all the time and as we praise the Lord in the gathered congregation on Sunday. We always have something to praise God for, His goodness and His works, and for His mercies which are new every morning.
Praising the Lord always lifts our spirits for these words and actions make us aware of God’s Presence and conscious of His goodness and mercy. Knowing, believing, and thinking about God has the effect of making us feel better.
