Give Thanks to the Lord for His Love!

 Psalm 33:
1 Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous!
    Praise befits the upright.
2 Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre;
    make melody to him with the harp of ten strings!
3 Sing to him a new song;
    play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
4 For the word of the Lord is upright,
    and all his work is done in faithfulness.
5 He loves righteousness and justice;
    the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.

In this psalm we find some of the other reasons to give thanks to the Lord: His righteousness and justice, but we also find a deeper reason - the love from which those qualities arise.  The psalmist goes all the way back to creation to trace this thread of steadfast love, reminding himself, his people, and all nations that the eye of the Lord is upon us, and His love set upon His people who love Him. Let us give thanks for such amazing, steadfast love!
