O give thanks unto the LORD.
Giving thanks, Spurgeon style!
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Oh, give thanks to the God of gods! For His mercy endures forever. Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords! For His mercy endures forever: To Him who alone does great wonders, For His mercy endures forever.
- Psalm 136:1-4
The exhortation is intensely earnest: the Psalmist pleads with the Lord's people with an "O," three times repeated. Thanks are the last that we can offer, and these we ought freely to give. The inspired writer calls us to praise Jehovah for all his goodness to us, and all the greatness of his power in blessing his chosen.
- C.H. Spurgeon
The Lord’s Blessings in 2009!
At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You, because of Your righteous judgments. I am a companion of all who fear You, and of those who keep Your precepts. - Psalm 119:62-63
As if he should have said that the day was not sufficient enough for him, but that in the time of his quiet rest, he lifted up his mind into heaven to give thanks unto God. In this he signifieth that he continued praising of God without wearisomeness. Now then, if we rightly follow the example of David, we must not give God thanks when we think good, and when we shall have remembered Him once in fifteen days, or I know not when: or else when as it shall be for fashion's sake, as when the Bell ringeth to cause us to come to the Sermon. But it must be always, for we must both in the evening, and morning, and also at midnight, have our minds waking to give Him thanks.
- John Calvin
Minding God’s Favor
A thanksgiving-day hath a double precedency of a fast-day. On a fast-day we eye God's anger; on a thanksgiving-day we look to God's favor. In the former we specially mind our corruptions; in the latter, God's compassions; therefore a fast-day calls for sorrow, a thanksgiving-day for joy. But the Lord's day is the highest thanksgiving day.
- George Swinnock
