Give Thanks...

Last Thanksgiving I posted some verses from the New Testament on giving thanks. This year I am looking at these great verses from the Old Testament:

5 Places to Give Thanks:

• Give thanks among the Gentiles – or those who don’t know Him (2Sam. 22:50; Ps. 18:49)

• Give thanks and make His deeds known among all peoples (1Chron. 16:8; Ps. 105:1)

• Give thanks in the gates of the camp of the Lord (2Chron. 31:2)

• Give thanks among many people in the great assembly (Ps. 35:18)

• Give thanks as you make your way to the place of festivity and worship (Ps. 122:4)

7 Reasons to be Thankful Today:

• Give thanks because He is good and His mercy endures forever (1Chron. 16:34; Ps. 106:1; Ps. 107:1 …and entire Psalm; Ps. 118; Ps. 136)

• Give thanks because you remember His holy name (Ps. 30:4; Ps. 97:12)

• Give thanks because His name is near (Ps. 75:1)

• Give thanks because it is good to do it (Ps. 92:1)

• Give thanks because of His goodness and wonderful works (Ps. 107)

• Give thanks because He calls us to worship at midnight (Ps. 119:62)

• Give thanks because He has made us righteous and call us to dwell in His presence (Ps. 140:13)

Today - I feel like this young man looks

Thank you Jesus for Your great kindness to me!

You have not given me what I deserve, but have lavished Your love on me!

Give thanks to the Lord forever!

(Ps. 30:12; Ps. 79:13)

Lately, the Lord has been showing off his great faithfulness 

and grace in my life.

I just can't stop worshiping Him,

…so I have to conclude this posting with this wonderful verse from Thessalonians:

1 Thess. 5:16-18 - Living Bible

Always be joyful.

Always keep on praying.

No matter what happens, always be thankful,
for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
