[Music] Sing and give thanks. Sing unto the Lord, O you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness. Psalm 34. When we remember God's holiness, then remember how the mighty seraphim in the heavenly temple are continually crying out, holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts. Then further remember the prophet's prayer, acknowledging to God that you are of pure eyes than to behold evil and cannot look on iniquity. And then still further remember that, as Paul said, "For I know that in me that is in my flesh dwells no good thing. We can only marvel at the infinite mercy and grace of God." He has not only forgiven our sins, saved our souls, and promised us eternal life, but He also daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation, Psalm 68.19. What can we do except to perpetually sing unto the Lord and give thanks, as David exhorts us in our text for today? But how can this be that a God who is too pure and holy, even to look on iniquity, promises unworthy creatures such as us, that goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives, and we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. How can that be? This could not be, of course, were it not for the incredible love of God in Christ, who has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, 1 Peter 3.18. The chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we are healed, Isaiah 53.5. While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us, Romans 5.8. Therefore be thankful, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord, and whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.
