Text: Psalm 30:1-12
Outline: Some years ago, my family passed through a strange sickness defying medical prescription and huge debts due to theft,to the point that my yearly salary could not settle.The car broke down severally and there were police cases, etc. What was there to thank God for, I wondered,when we had fasted for two months, served God and supported His work faithfully in tithes,huge donations and services?
Contrary to my thoughts, a popular song still says count your blessings; name them one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done! The Psalmist commands us to sing and give thanks to the Lord with our hearts. This is because His name is holy, hallowed, glorious, powerful, fearful, wonderful, creative, transforming above all the mountains and valleys of life.

Thank God for lifting us above the expectations of our enemies(v.1), for healing(v.2), for life and salvation amidst threatening and dreadful situations (v.3), for His great forgiveness and mercies in spite of our wrong doings(v.5), for His immeasurable favour (v.5), for joy received after seasons of weeping (v.5), for establishing us (v.7), for answered prayers(vs. 8-10), for gladness after seasons of trials(v.11).
Beloved, you must find a reason to sing and thank God even for the remembrance of His name. Hence, use your tongue, heart and all within you to sing His praises (v.12).
Meditate: “The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.” (Psalm 9:9)
Prayer
Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder, consider all the works thy hands have made……Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to thee, how great thou art!
