The 136th Psalm contains so many reasons why people should give thanks to the Lord. All 26 verses end with the phrase “for his mercy endureth forever.” Verse 1 starts with thanking the Lord for He is good. Verse 26 ends with a giving of thanks to the God of heaven. In between, the Psalms recounts all the reasons God’s people should give continual thanks. Burbank First Baptist has experienced the Lord’s presence many times in its storied past. The growth of the congregation has ebbed and flowed but continues through the efforts of the faithful. It truly is amazing how God is faithful to send families looking for a church home. Being an older traditional church fits the mold for some people. That setting may not be what some are looking for. I always suggest to people that they come see if they feel like it is where the Lord wants them to be. Over the years, many people experienced contentment and attended for a while. We always rejoice when people find peace by accepting Jesus Christ as the personal Lord and Savior. This happened last Sunday when a young man made a life changing commitment to seek forgiveness for sin in his life. He acknowledged that salvation of his soul was only going to come when he made his decision public in the worship service. Our prayer is that our fellowship will continue to support this young man as he grows his faith every day. I am confident that there will be additional commitments from others who are seeking the same for their life. Yes, we too can say “Oh give thanks unto the Lord, for his mercy endureth forever.” Our prayer is for other churches to experience God’s wonderful mercy and grace through spiritual growth.
