Psalm 107:1 - TRUE THANKSGIVING!

Psalm 107:1 (NIV) Give thanks to the LORD, 
for he is good; his love endures forever.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   Separated from friends, unjustly accused, 
brutally treated - if any man had a right to complain 
it was this man, languishing almost forgotten 
in a harsh Roman prison. But instead of 
complaints, his lips rang with words of praise and 
thanksgiving! 
   This was the apostle Paul - a man who had 
learned the meaning of true thanksgiving, even in 
the midst of great adversity. Look carefully at 
what he wrote during that prison experience: 
"Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, 
always giving thanks to God the Father for 
everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Eph. 
5:19-20 NIV). 
   Think of it! "Always giving thanks ... 
for everything" no matter the circumstances. His 
guards and fellow prisoners must have thought him 
crazy - but that didn't stop him. Thanksgiving for 
Paul was not a once-a-year celebration, but a 
daily reality that made him a joyful person in 
every situation. May that be true of us. 
   Because of what Christ has done, we, too, 
can sing songs of praise at midnight (Acts 
16:25).  No matter how dark the season or how 
painful the trial.  God is still good and worthy of 
praise.  [Hope for Each Day by Billy Graham]
