"To you, O God, do we give thanks, to you do we give thanks: for that your name is near your wondrous works declare.” (v.1)
This Psalm written by Asaph is a song of thanksgiving for the recent manifestation of God’s presence and power among His people. It also states the His wondrous works show that He is near.
How often do we as Christians give thanks to God for His presence and workings in our lives? Probably not often enough. And there are probably just as many times in our lives when we experienced divine intervention and never saw it as such to give thanks. But, never-the-less, whether aware of it or not, He was near. That near miss on the freeway, that small voice cautioning you, or a feeling that comes over you at just the right moment.
I encourage you, take a close look back over your life and I’m sure you will find God’s presence and power at work in it. Then, as Asaph did, give thanks to Him for being near, and for His protection, provision, and great miracles of deliverance.
The Truth: “Give thanks to the LORD for He is good; His love endures forever.” (Psalm 107:1)
