Alphabet of Thankful Praise - Psalm 111
Title: ABCs of Thankful Praise
Speaker: Rev. Jason Van Bemmel
Series: Psalms of Thanksgiving
Date: November 25, 2025
Bible: Psalm 111
This devotional focuses on Psalm 111 as a call to wholehearted praise and thanksgiving to God.
The teaching highlights two primary reasons for this praise:
God's Works and Character: God is praised for the greatness of His creation and history (His splendor and majesty) and for His goodness (being gracious and merciful). He is celebrated for His reliable provision of daily needs and for being trustworthy in keeping His precepts and covenant.
Redemption and Wisdom: The ultimate reason for praise is the redemption He has sent, which is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, making all of God's promises "yes and amen." The devotional concludes that the proper response to this reality is living in the "fear of the Lord," which is presented as the "beginning of wisdom." The entire Psalm's structure, which is revealed to be an acrostic poem in Hebrew, emphasizes the complete and deliberate nature of this thankful praise.
