BIBLE TEXT: Psalms 103:1-5
[1](A Psalm of David.) Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
[2]Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
[3]Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
[4]Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
[5]Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
LESSON INTRODUCTION: Thanksgiving is an instrument of victory given to believers by God. Though it is always given after a victory is recorded as in the case of the children of Israel after crossing the Red Sea and the case of Hannah after giving birth to Samuel. Testimonies is the act of sharing with others what God had done in the life of a believer and what God did for the believer as in the case of David testifying before King Saul that God helped him to kill a bear and a lion.
