Then, a promise to give thanks. To give thanks not in some private prayer in secret, but prayer expressed in the company of the congregation.
The Lord has done great works--and we have noticed, we have given thought to them, we have told others about them.
To summarize: notice, be thankful, tell others, continue to notice and be thankful. and not just tell with words.
The Lord is known for the wonderful deeds, even when we may not have earned any of them. For, the Lord is gracious and merciful. And, this is not a new thing with us. It didn't begin with us nor will it end with us. The Lord's righteousness endures forever.
Recognizing what God has done for us helps us to recognize the nature of God. It also helps us recognize what an appropriate response is.
Lectio Divina: Psalm 111:2 Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them.
