Sunday Meditations – Praise HIM!
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! Psalm 107:8
It is so easy to get discouraged with every day trials of life. I’m there…a lot. But this verse reminds me that it is good to praise the Lord, for His goodness and for the most wonderful work that Christ did on the cross.
Praise To The Lord, The Almighty
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near;
Praise Him in glad adoration.
Praise to the Lord, who over all things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!
Hast thou not seen how thy desires ever have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?
Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee.
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,
If with His love He befriend thee.
Praise to the Lord, who, when tempests their warfare are waging,
Who, when the elements madly around thee are raging,
Biddeth them cease, turneth their fury to peace,
Whirlwinds and waters assuaging.
Praise to the Lord, who, when darkness of sin is abounding,
Who, when the godless do triumph, all virtue confounding,
Sheddeth His light, chaseth the horrors of night,
Saints with His mercy surrounding.
Praise to the Lord, O let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him.
Let the Amen sound from His people again,
Gladly for aye we adore Him.
by Joachim Neander, translated by Catherine Winkworth, 1863
What are you thankful for today?
I’m thankful for a healthy family, wonderful in-laws and parents, God’s provision and the opportunity to do what I love. God is so good!

Amen Amy! God is so good! 🙂
This hymn is my very favorite. We had it played as our wedding recessional, and the Lord uses it often to remind me of his truth.
