Giving thanks from generation to generation

I was struck by the words of Psalm 79:13, "But we your people the sheep of your pasture will give thanks to you forever; from generation to generation we will recount your praise."   This Psalm was a lament over Israel.  Babylon had laid waste to the place where God's people dwelt.  God's people were mocked for believing in God.   And yet, the Psalmist remains steadfast and immoveable in his trust in the Lord.   God's people will praise God forever, no matter the circumstance, because God's people continually return to the Lord.   God is always reliable and trustworthy.   In the midst of trial and tribulation, may God keep us in His grace, immoveable in Christ, waiting on Him to help us in time of need.
