Give Thanks to the Lord for His Steadfastness!

 

Psalm 108:
1 My heart is steadfast, O God!
    I will sing and make melody with all my being!
2 Awake, O harp and lyre!
    I will awake the dawn!
3 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
    I will sing praises to you among the nations.
4 For your steadfast love is great above the heavens;
    your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

This psalm of David is the source of numerous contemporary songs of praise and thanksgiving: I Will Give Thanks to You, Awake the Dawn, Be Exalted O God, With Our God We Shall Do Valiantly, and more. Why? Because David's message resonates so much with us. In the battles of life - be it with the Moabites, Edomites, and Philistines, or the migraines, energy-drains and frustrations - in God we can find the stability we need to stand firm in faith and move forward. Any of the songs above or others not listed which contain this theme are a great way to start the day, away the morn, and seize the day for Him.
