God knows that we as men need to be encouraged to be thankful, so that many of His richest blessings will come to us when we are thankful people. This is why the last verse of this Psalm says – "Whoever is wise will observe these things, and they will understand the lovingkindness of the Lord." In other words, there are definite reasons why you should give thanks to God. 1st of all – You should give thanks if you are one of the Lord's redeemed. (verses 1-3a) 2nd – You should give thanks because He delivers you from your distresses. (verses 4-6) 3rd – You should give thanks because He leads you forth by the right way.

(verses 8 and 9) So let's think together about these truths so that we might learn to engage in the holy discipline of giving thanks for all that the Lord does for us.
