Psalm 105:1 says," O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon His name: make known His deeds among the people." We have now gone through the National Holiday called "Thanksgiving", but as a Christian our thanksgiving should never cease (1 Thess.1:2).

We are told to do three things in Psalm 105:1. First, to give thanks to the Lord, secondly to call upon His name, and then to make known His deeds to the people. We can never be without something to praise the Lord for in life. There is an old song I heard years ago called, "I Just Can’t Praise Him Enough." What a wonderful truth that song expresses! Here are four simple things I thank the Lord for today:

I. The Lifting Of The Load. See Matt. 11:30. Jesus is the great load lifter. The primary load He has lifted from me is the load of sin. I spoke with a young man some time back who had just been saved. I asked him how he felt. The young man said, "I feel as light as a feather." God had lifted the load of sin from him, and he sensed that load being removed from him.

II. The Lord I’ve Loved. 1 John 4:19 says, "We love Him, because He first loved us." First, the cause of our love for Him is the fact that He loved me before I ever knew and loved Him. I have not seen Him, but still I love Christ and He is so very real to my soul. Secondly, the continuance of our love should be attended to and nourished when it comes to our blessed Lord.

III. The Lessons I’ve Learned. We learn all of our lessons in at least three ways. One way is through experience. Sometimes learning in that way is very difficult and is often unnecessary. Some things would be better learned that we might not have to go through some unpleasant experience. Another way we learn is through others. Sometimes if we listened to wise people it would save us from a lot of troubles. A third way we learn is through the examples of the Scriptures (Rom. 15:4).
