We want you to meet with God and be transformed by the Word this Sunday.

Whole-hearted thankfulness is the believer’s response to God’s sovereign goodness. In Psalm 138, David models unashamed praise, calling us to cultivate gratitude with our whole heart.

First, we thank the Lord because he exalts himself above all things (vv. 1–3). By magnifying his name and Word, God gracefully reveals his holy perfection. This finds ultimate fulfillment in Jesus, the Word made flesh, who humbled himself to secure our eternal good.

Second, we thank the Lord because he regards the lowly (vv. 4–6). Though high above earthly rulers, God draws near to the meek and resists the proud. In the gospel, Jesus welcomes those who acknowledge their spiritual need.

Third, we thank the Lord because he preserves his people in the midst of trouble (vv. 7–8). Fatherly trial refines our faith, while Jesus promises to complete the good work he began in us.

Therefore, we rest quietly in his enduring love, giving unreserved thanks to the Lord.
