Thanksgiving for Salvation - Psalm 48-50

In these three Psalms we have three praise chapters. Psalm 48 is a praise for the City of Zion - Jerusalem, who will produce the Savior. Psalm 49 is the praise for the salvation only found in Christ, the work done by the Savior. And, in Psalm 50 we have praise for thanksgiving for all God has done for us, through the life of our Savior. These are Psalms of praise reminding us to praise God for our Salvation. You wonder why we have to reminded to praise God for our Salvation? One reason we forget the greatness of our salvation is that we forget how desperate and lost we were. Christians tend to think they are blessed and even "deserve" to be saved. Those who think they had a piece or part in their salvation lose out on the perfect praise that can be offered because they "had a part" in it - to save themselves. In Psalm 49 especially we see the plight of the lost. Their wealth, power or prestige cannot save them. They are lost and God has rescued them through His divine grace. Today we ought to praise the King for all that He has done - especially our salvation. Do we take time each day to praise Him for saving us - I don't think most Christians go through the day thanking God for their salvation. It is time to start.
