Thank God for the Many Glorious Instances of His Favor to the Old Testament Church

Thanksgiving 4.14 | NASB

For the many glorious instances of God’s favor to the Old Testament church.

I adore that wisdom, peace, and goodness with which You removed the vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and planted it; You cleared the ground before it, and it took deep root and filled the land. Psalm 80:8-9(NASB)

And they did not possess the land by their own sword, and their own arm did not save them, but Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence, for You favored them. Psalm 44:3(NASB)

I bless You that the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God; Romans 3:2(NASB) that they had the adoption as sons, and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the temple service and the promises: Romans 9:4(NASB) And that not one word has failed of all Your good promise, which You promised through Moses Your servant. 1 Kings 8:56(NASB)

I bless You for all that which You did, in many portions and in many ways, speak long ago to the fathers in the prophets, Hebrews 1:1(NASB) those men who, moved by the Holy Spirit, spoke from God, 2 Peter 1:21(NASB) and prophesied of the grace that would come to the people of God, predicting the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow; and that they were not serving themselves only, but all believers, in those great things – things into which angels long to look. 1 Peter 1:10-12(NASB)

And especially, I bless You that You have provided something better for this generation of believers, so that apart from us they would not be made perfect. Hebrews 11:40(NASB)

For the many glorious instances of God’s favour to the Old Testament church.

I adore that wisdom, peace, and goodness with which thou broughtest the vine out of Egypt, didst cast out the heathen and plant it; thou preparedst room before it and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. Psalm 80:8-9(KJV)

And they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand and thine arm and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour to them. Psalm 44:3(KJV)

I bless thee that to the Jews were committed the oracles of God; Romans 3:2(KJV) that they had the adoption and the glory and the covenant, the giving of the law and the service of God and the promises: Romans 9:4(KJV) And that there did not fail one word of all thy good promise, which thou promisedst by the hand of Moses thy servant. 1 Kings 8:56(KJV)

I bless thee for all that which thou didst, at sundry times and in divers manners, speak in times past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hebrews 1:1(KJV) those holy men of God who spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost, 2 Peter 1:21(KJV) and prophesied of the grace that should come unto the people of God, testifying beforehand the suffering of Christ and the glory that should follow; and that, not to themselves only, but to all believers, they ministered those great things, things which the angels themselves desire to look into. 1 Peter 1:10-12(KJV)

And especially, I bless thee that thou hast provided some better things for believers alive today, that they without us should not be made perfect. Hebrews 11:40(KJV)

Thank God for the Appointing of the Redeemer and His Gracious Condescension

Thanksgiving 4.12 | NIV

For the appointing of the Redeemer and God’s gracious condescension to deal with men upon new terms, receding from the demands of the broken covenant of innocency.

I bless you that when sacrifice and offering you did not desire, and in them you were not pleased, that then the eternal Son of God said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will, O God, and a body you have prepared for me.” Hebrews 10:5-7(NIV) And that, as it is written about him in the scroll, he desired to do your will, O God; your law was within his heart. Psalm 40:7-8(NIV)

You have bestowed strength on a warrior, a young man from among the people. You have found David your servant; with your sacred oil you have anointed him: Psalm 89:19-20(NIV) You have set him above his companions by anointing him with the oil of joy, Psalm 45:7(NIV) and promised that your hand would sustain him and your arm would strengthen him, Psalm 89:21(NIV) and that you would appoint him your firstborn, the most exalted of the kings of the earth. Psalm 89:27(NIV)

I bless you that the Father now judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son; John 5:22(NIV) that as he has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself, and has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man; John 5:26-27(NIV) that the Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands; John 3:35(NIV) and that the counsel of peace is between them both. Zechariah 6:13(KJV)

That he is your servant, whom you uphold, your chosen one in whom you delight, Isaiah 42:1(NIV) your Son, whom you love, with him you are well pleased; Matthew 17:5(NIV) that you have made him to be a covenant for the people; Isaiah 49:8(NIV) and that through him your people are not under law but under grace. Romans 6:14(NIV)

That God so loved the world as to give his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16(NIV)

I bless You that when sacrifice and offering You did not desire, and in them took no pleasure, that then the eternal Son of God said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God, and a body You have prepared for me.” Hebrews 10:5-7(NASB) And that, as in the scroll of the book it was written of Him, He did delight to do Your will, O God; yes, Your law was within His heart. Psalm 40:7-8(NASB)

You have given help to One who is mighty, One chosen from the people: You have found David Your servant, with Your holy oil You have anointed Him, Psalm 89:19-20(NASB) even with the oil of joy above His fellows, Psalm 45:7(NASB) and did promise that with Him Your hand should be established and Your arm should strengthen Him, Psalm 89:21(NASB) and that You would make Him Your firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth. Psalm 89:27(NASB)

I bless You that now not even the Father judges anyone, but has given all judgment to the Son; John 5:22(NASB) that just as He has life in Himself, even so He has given to the Son also to have life in Himself, and has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man; John 5:26-27(NASB) that the Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand; John 3:35(NASB) and that the counsel of peace is between them both. Zechariah 6:13(NASB)

That He is Your servant, whom You uphold; Your chosen One in whom Your soul delights; Isaiah 42:1(NASB) Your beloved Son, with whom You are well-pleased; Matthew 17:5(NASB) that You have given Him for a covenant of the people; Isaiah 49:8(NASB) and that through Him I am not under law but under grace. Romans 6:14(NASB)

That God so loved the world, as to give His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16(NASB)
