Give thanks for deliverance

Give thanks to him who killed the firstborn of Egypt. His faithful love endures forever.
He brought Israel out of Egypt. His faithful love endures forever.
He acted with a strong hand and powerful arm. His faithful love endures forever. Psalm 136:10-12

More miracles! God brought the Passover to atone for the sins of His people. He delivered them from a controlling and unbelieving Pharaoh. Today, we have Jesus Christ, who delivers us from sin and disbelief. Indeed, His love is faithful and endures forever!

Dear Lord, thank you for your faithfulness! Thank you for delivering your people. May we share this good news with someone you love today. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Have you experienced the strong hand and powerful arm of God? What is your deliverance?

Give thanks for miracles

Did you catch it?

Give thanks to Him who alone does mighty miracles (Psalm 136:4). God alone performs miracles. Many are recorded in the Bible to lift our faith and keep our eyes open. The rest of Psalm 136 goes over some of the miracles God alone performs. Think you've never seen one? Think again:

Give thanks to him who made the heavens so skillfully. His faithful love endures forever.
Give thanks to him who placed the earth among the waters. His faithful love endures forever.
Give thanks to him who made the heavenly lights - His faithful love endures forever.
the sun to rule the day, his faithful love endures forever.
and the moon and stars to rule the night. His faithful love endures forever. Psalm 136:5-9

The sky, the earth itself (indeed, the very universe was crafted by God's hand), the waters, the sun, and the stars were all created in miraculous fashion. So the next time you look up, remember the God who performs miracles.

Dear God, thank you for the evidence of miracles. Open our eyes to see everyday miracles in our lives. May we bless you and shine your light today. In Jesus' name, Amen.

What miracles can you see in your own life?

Give thanks to the Lord of lords

Give thanks to the Lord of lords. His faithful love endures forever. Give thanks to Him alone who does mighty miracles. His faithful love endures forever. Psalm 136:3, 4

Psalm 136 lists many reasons to give thanks, many characteristics of God. His goodness, His sovereignty, His power, and His miracles are just the beginning. Having an attitude of thankfulness allows us to see Him more clearly - and when we see Him, we can introduce others to Him.

Dear Lord, thank you for your power and your love. Thank you for performing miracles that we see and that we don't see. Please help us reflect your love today. In Jesus' name, Amen.
