Psalm 136: 17-26 NLT
Although we may not be comfortable with the idea of God doing violence on our behalf (I hope, anyway), we can agree that God has done remarkable things on our behalf.
God created the world.
God provided a means to know and love God.
God gave us God’s only son, Jesus, who died for us and was resurrected for our benefit.
In America today, many people are thankful for family, friends, food and freedom. However, you don’t have to be an American to celebrate and give thanks for all that God has done for you.
Thank you, God! For your faithful love endures forever! In Jesus’ name. Amen.
