Psalm 136:1 ESV
1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.

I. GIVING THANKS TO THE LORD

Psalm 136:1 ESV
1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.

The idea is that Jesus was offering thanks to God as provider, not “blessing” the food in order that it might multiply.

Philippians 4:6 ESV
6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

II. THE REASONS GIVEN

Psalm 136:1 ESV
1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.
OUR LORD YAHWEH, IS A GOOD GOD!
Exodus 33:17–19 ESV
17 And the Lord said to Moses, “This very thing that you have spoken I will do, for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.” 18 Moses said, “Please show me your glory.” 19 And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.’ And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
Steadfast love is the covenant love of God. Steadfast love, or ‘true love’ (neb), is that faithfulness to a covenant, to which marital devotion gives some analogy. It is the word which older versions translated ‘lovingkindness’, before its connection with covenanting and its strong element of fidelity were fully appreciated.
Malachi 3:6–7 ESV
6 “For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed. 7 From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. But you say, ‘How shall we return?’
Hebrews 13:8 ESV
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
