Today’s
scripture: Psalm 106:1
Okay. I admit it. Today’s verse doesn’t mention the word “joy.” So why did I include it?
Because the words themselves fill me with joy!
I mean, read them again … and again …
I praise the Lord! I give thanks to Him!
Why?
Because He is good! I did a quick check of synonyms for good: noble, worthy, blameless, trustworthy, valuable, right, excellent, lovely, wonderful, splendid. God is certainly all of these things, and as I reflect on these words, I am filled with joy. God is so good!
I also praise Him and thank Him because “His mercy endures forever”! I’ve written many times that mercy is not getting what we do deserve. We are sinful, flawed, fallen creatures, and we deserve eternal separation from pure, sinless God. Yet, in His mercy, He offers forgiveness and eternal life with Him.
So, even though the psalmist didn’t include the word “joy” in this verse, I trust you agree that it is filled with joy!
