To GOD, To HIM—Give Thanks—Always & Forever!
“Give thanks to the LORD,
(Psalm 136: 1-9 & 26 NASB)
for He is good,
For His faithfulness is everlasting.
Give thanks to the God of gods,
For His faithfulness is everlasting.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords,
For His faithfulness is everlasting.
To Him who alone does
great wonders,
For His faithfulness is everlasting;
To Him who made the
heavens with skill,
For His faithfulness is everlasting;
To Him who spread out the
earth above the waters,
For His faithfulness is everlasting;
To Him who made the great lights,
For His faithfulness is everlasting.
The sun to rule by day,
For His faithfulness is everlasting.
The moon and stars to rule by night,
For His faithfulness is everlasting.”
. . .
[for His steadfast love endures forever]
“Give thanks to the God of heaven,
For His faithfulness is everlasting.”
There is a place where most of the world will NEVER go. This place has a specific location: 200 kilometers (124 miles) east of particular islands located in the Pacific Ocean. There are certain measurements of this particular place: 2,550 kilometers (1,580 miles) in length & 69 kilometers (43 miles) in width.
Finally, the depth of this place (known to man) is 10,984 +/- 25 meters (36,037 x 82 feet).
At its southernmost end in a valley in its floor, it measures 6,006 +/- 14 fathoms (6.825 +/- 0.016 miles).
Researchers know the measurable height of Mount Everest, and so if Mount Everest were placed into this specific place located in the Pacific Ocean, into this trench of unimageable depth, then THE PEAK of Mount Everest WOULD STILL BE UNDERWATER by more than 2 kilometers (by 1.2 miles)!!!

The Mariana Trench & the Challenger Deep—a place where most of us WILL NEVER GO!
“IN THE BEGINNING, GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.
(Genesis 1: 1-3 NASB—Capitalization Applied with Liberty)
AND THE EARTH WAS A FORMLESS AND DESOLATE EMPTINESS,
AND DARKNESS WAS OVER THE SURFACE OF THE DEEP,
AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD WAS HOVERING OVER THE SURFACE OF THE WATERS.
THEN GOD SAID,
“LET THERE BE LIGHT” ,
AND THERE WAS LIGHT.”
Truly, it is possible for us to experience the presence of GOD!
Surely, it is possible for us to stand in awe at the majesty of the LORD!
There is a melody that speaks of what every person MUST DO—from the moment of our conception.
“Lookin’ for You” by Zach Williams.
Please pause, Take out your Bible and turn to Read—Psalm 136 As we stand in Awe!.
Then Find this melody, Place your earbuds in your ears, Listen.
We have really—
- Achieved nothing. God has!
- Accomplished nothing. The LORD has!
- Created nothing. The God of gods has created everything!
Thank you, Father, for this remembrance.
May We (May all of humanity)—
- Be Pliable to be fashioned to whatever the LORD would have us do.
- Be Available to be used in whatever way the God of gods would have us go.
- Be Willing to do whatever the LORD of lords would have us do.
- Be Obedient to whatever the God of heaven would have us accomplish in HIS WILL.
SURELY, WE CAN SEE HOW WE ARE MASTER OF NOTHING APART FROM GOD!
SURELY, WE CAN SEE HOW GOD IS THE MASTER OF EVERYTHING!
“To Him who alone does
(Psalm 136: 4 NASB)
great wonders,
For His faithfulness is everlasting;”
