Psalm 138 The godly actively give thanks to God for His unchanging love & faithfulness toward them. They express gratitude, resting in His authority over their lives, and looking to His word for hope and guidance. The church, the called out people of God, make gathering together their joyful priority. The church gathers to make offerings of thanks through prayer & praise. In doing so, they give a bold testimony to all who witness their worship, and they receive strength from the Spirit of God.
