In the first chapter of his second letter, the Apostle Peter makes a remarkable statement: that Christians, in some sense, "share" or "partake" of God's very nature. All this in the context of the kind of sure and certain faith we have as Christians.
Ecclesiastes chapters 10 through 12 make up the dramatic end to the book, where Solomon examines the nature of great foolishness and true wisdom - rooted in a recognition of eternity and judgment.

The remarkable book of Ecclesiastes deals with some of the most profound questions of life: does life have meaning? Is there life beyond what I can see and feel? Solomon the preacher speaks this important message across the centuries to us today.
Psalm 136 is a special psalm, with each one of its 26 verses repeating the sentence, His mercy endures forever. Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, the phrase has somewhat of a liturgical sense to it, as if the assembled people of Israel said or sung this in response to the direction of the Levites leading singing and worship. We picture a great multitude of the people of God gathered in the temple courts. A priest or Levite would call out a reason to give God thanks, and His people would respond with, “For His mercy endures forever.”
Consider how great the mercy of God is, as it is expressed in the person and work of Jesus Christ throughout this wonderful psalm!
Psalm 100 is a psalm of thanksgiving, and it speaks of an invitation to the whole earth to know and to worship God.
Pastor David Guzik gives the what and why of giving praise and the what and why of giving thanks.
