Hallel Psalms



Psalms 113-118 have been labeled the Hallel Psalms, especially when read as a unit. These psalms are essentially expressions of thanksgiving and joy for divine redemption. What is redemption? It's being saved or redeemed from sin. As we approach the Thanksgiving season what better way to prepare our hearts to join with friends and family in thanking God for His gift of redemption than to read Psalms 113-118 daily, filling our hearts with praise.
Around the Thanksgiving table, next Thursday, Americans will verbalize why they are thankful. Is their anything more valuable than our salvation? Let's thank him daily for this precious gift, given to us through his son, Jesus Christ.
"Praise the Lord." Ps. 113:1
