Reading through the Psalms, I noticed that there were several verses with the exact same wording, “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting.” I pulled up my Bible study program on my computer and found there are five verses in the book of Psalms that say this. Growing up, I was taught that everything God said is important, when He says something twice it’s really important, and if He says it three times it’s really, really important. The Bible repeats these exact words five times! I think God is trying to tell us something through the Psalmist. He is commanding us to be thankful to God because He is good. His everlasting lovingkindness is not only another reason why we should be thankful to God, but it is also one of the many things we should be giving thanks for. God told us this five times, so let’s listen up and give thanks!
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting.”
Psalm 106:1; 107:1; 118:1; 118:29; 136:1(NASB)
