Today I want to share a few verses from Psalms 147. The theme written above the chapter says, "What gives God joy. Although God created everything, His greatest joy comes from our geniune worship and trust."  As we head toward the Thanksgiving season, it is a time to be grateful and say thanks:

From 147:  "Hallelujah! Yes, praise the Lord! How good it is to sing His praises! How delightful and how right!.........He heals the broken hearted, binding up their wounds. He counts the stars and calls them by name. How great He is! His power is absolute! His understanding is unlimited.......Sing out your thanks to Him; sing praises to our God........He covers the heavens with clouds, sends down the showers and makes the green grass grow in mountain pastures. He feeds the wild animals and the young ravens cry to Him for food. But His joy is in in those who reverence Him, those who expect Him to be loving and kind......He has fortified your gates against all enemies, and blessed your children. He sends peace across your nation and fills your barns with plenty of the finest wheat.......Hallelujah! Yes, praise the Lord!"

My Bible commentary on these verses:  "Sometimes we feel as if we don't understand ourselves--what we want, how we feel, what's wrong with us, or what we should do about it. But God's understanding is unlimited and therefore He understands us fully. If you feel troubled and don't understand yourself, remember that God understands you perfectly. Take your mind off yourself and focus it on God. Strive to become more and more like Him. The more you learn about God and His ways, the better you will understand yourself."
