King Jehoshaphat was facing a great crisis in His life as He saw a multitude of enemies coming against Him.When He looked at His resources He felt so inadequate,but then He turned His eyes to the one who provides resources,who gives victory.He adopted a military strategy which no other ruler in the entire world History employed.he sent a group of musicians in the front of the army,they sang the song which was familiar in every hebrew family's house..I believe this song was resonating from the smallest child to the oldest person."O GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD FOR HE IS GOOD ,HIS STEADFAST LOVE ENDURES FOREVER"...
Daniel knew that a law was signed against praying to the Almighty God.He was a free person whe it came to puring out His heart before God.Though there is no law agaist prayer in our lands and terriritories we find it very difficult to pray.When the Law was signed against Him,He got onto His knees and the Bible says.He gave THANKS to the Lord as He was doing before three times a day with His windows opened towards Jerusalem.I imagine he must have sang this HYMN"O GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD,FOR HE IS GOOD,HIS STEADFAST LOVE ENDURES FOREVER.."...
Our blessed Lord Jesus as He stood before the 5000 odd men with 5 loaves and 2 Fish.He lifted His eyes towards Heavens and we read He thanked the LORD.Same thing He did when he stood before the tomb of lazarus.
He lifted His eyes to the heavens and thanked His heavenly father.He did the same bofore going to the garden of gethsamane.He must have sang"O GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD,FOR HE IS GOOD AND HIS STEADFAST LOVE ENDURES FOREVER"
CHild of God,Thanksgiving in the present for the present will result in a miracle in the next moments.I wish this song will be so familiar in our mouths.In sorrows,through difficulties,through pain,when faced with shortages,when laws are passed against you.,lets sing O GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD,FOR HE IS GOOD AND HIS STEADFAST LOVE ENDURES
