Psalm 65 - A Song of Praise & Thanksgiving

LINK: Psalm 65

BACKGROUND

David wrote this song. He most likely wrote it for the Feast of Tabernacles, the most joyous Jewish festival when Israel celebrated God's provision and offered Him the firstfruits of the harvest.

v 1-4 - Praise God that He forgives sin and draws us to Himself.
v 5-8 - Praise God as the great Creator of the world and the one who keeps it under His control.
v 9-13 - Praise God for all He provides for us on this earth.


REFLECTION
"The Christian ought to be a living doxology"
~Martin Luther

PRAYER
Pray or sing your song to the Lord!

Enjoy celebrating the goodness of the Lord this Thanksgiving Day.
