Scripture Reading:

Psalm 106:47-48 (NKJV) – Save us, O LORD our God, And gather us from
among the Gentiles, To give thanks to Your holy name, To triumph in Your
praise. 48 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel From everlasting to
everlasting! And let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the LORD!

1. You need to thank The LORD because HE is GOOD!

Psalm 106:1 (NKJV) – Praise the LORD! Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for
He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

Good –

A. Good is WHO The LORD IS!

1 Chronicles 16:34 (NKJV) – Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.

Psalm 107:1-8 (ESV) – Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his
steadfast love endures forever! 2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
whom he has redeemed from trouble 3 and gathered in from the lands, from
the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. 4 Some
wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in; 5 hungry and
thirsty, their soul fainted within them. 6 Then they cried to the LORD in their
trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. 7 He led them by a straight
way till they reached a city to dwell in. 8 Let them thank the LORD for his
steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!

B. Good is WHAT The LORD DOES!

Psalm 84:11 (ESV) – For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD
bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who
walk uprightly.

Hebrews 9:11-12 (NLT) – So Christ has now become the High Priest over
all the good things that have come. He has entered that greater, more perfect
Tabernacle in heaven, which was not made by human hands and is not part
of this created world. 12 With his own blood—not the blood of goats and
calves—he entered the Most Holy Place once for all time and secured our
redemption forever.

James 1:17 (NLT) – Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from
God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes
or casts a shifting shadow.
