Thankfulness seems to be a lost art today. Warren Wiersbe illustrated this problem in his commentary on Colossians. He told about a ministerial student in Evanston, Illinois, who was part of a life-saving squad. In 1860, a ship went aground on the shore of Lake Michigan near Evan … More
When Pharaoh, in a final fit of fury, hardened his heart for the last time and harnessed his chariots of war to pursue Israel, the mighty arm of God was outstretched to bar his way (vv. 13-15). The Skekinah glory cloud came and stood between Israel and Egypt’s army. Then followed the greatest miracle of the Exodus: the waters of the Red Sea parted so that this saved people might pass over on dry land to the other side. What a sight it must have been when those towering walls of water were held back by God’s omnipotent power.
The following are items the Psalmist praised God for:
God was responsible for bringing down the most powerful rulers in the world just as a giant oak tree would shake off its leaves in the breeze. Two of the most mighty kings (Sihon, King of the Amorites and Gog, King of Basham) who stood in the way of Israel’s successful entrance into the Promised Land were no match for God.
Application
It is easy to be complaining because things are not going the way I would like them to. I need to be thankful for the things that are happening in my life whether they be good or bad.
Psalms 136:13-26 (English Standard Version)
To him who divided the Red Sea in two, for his steadfast love endures forever; and made Israel pass through the midst of it, for his steadfast love endures forever; but overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea, for his steadfast love endures forever; to him who led his people through the wilderness, for his steadfast love endures forever; to him who struck down great kings, for his steadfast love endures forever; and killed mighty kings, for his steadfast love endures forever; Sihon, king of the Amorites, for his steadfast love endures forever; and Og, king of Bashan, for his steadfast love endures forever; and gave their land as a heritage, for his steadfast love endures forever; a heritage to Israel his servant, for his steadfast love endures forever. It is he who remembered us in our low estate, for his steadfast love endures forever; and rescued us from our foes, for his steadfast love endures forever; he who gives food to all flesh, for his steadfast love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures forever.
