We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks!
For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.—Psalm 75:1
Our God is near! He is not a God afar off! He is NEAR and His steadfast love toward us endures forever! Oh give thanks!
There is no where I can flee from His precious Spirit. His presence fills both heaven and earth. Beloved, as His children, the very fullness of God dwells in us! ALWAYS He is with us…NEVER does He leave us! In Him we live and move and have our being.
When I call on the Lord, I KNOW that He hears me. His Spirit testifies with my spirit that I am His child. He is my very present help in times of trouble. His favor toward me is good. He is powerful, and His workings in my life are wonderful! His lovingkindness is always before my eyes. The evidence of His love surrounds and envelops me as I walk through this vale of tears. My God is for me and acts on my behalf! He defends me, fights for me, performs all things for me and makes perfect that which concerns me.
Beloved…oh magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt Hid name together. Oh give thanks to the Lord for He is good and His mercy endures forever!
1 I will bless the LORD at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make its boast in the LORD;
The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
3 Oh, magnify the LORD with me,
And let us exalt His name together.
4 I sought the LORD, and He heard me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him,
And saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him,
And delivers them.
8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!—Psalm 34:1-8
