PSALMS - Week 6//When Giving Thanks is Hard to Do

Psalm 137 is a hymn expressing the yearnings of the Jewish people during their Babylonian exile. They longed for Zion. It’s easy to praise God when nothing is going wrong. The Israelites were in a place where they didn’t feel like praising God. However, Psalm 136 reminds us that "His steadfast love endures forever." When giving thanks is hard to do, think about what God has already done. So, even if everything isn't going well for you, you’ve got a reason to give thanks: because His love endures forever.
