THANK YOU!
Kinda how God taught us
Commandments - NO
They point us to Christ
“THANK YOU” - as we realize what He’s done
Thanks
Appreciation
Response to a good deed
A mindset - a way of life
THE way of life for the believer
Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
God wants to hear our desires, concerns, worries, fears
Mostly - our praise - expressed in thanks!
All of life is to be geared to praise, thanks
It is good to give thanks to the Lord And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning And Your faithfulness by night,
Let your day begin and end with thanks and praise
At midnight I shall rise to give thanks to You Because of Your righteous ordinances.
Easy one…Give thanks when you eat - three times a day minimum, right?
Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving;
This attitude - GRATITUDE
Realizing all that there is to be grateful for, thankful for
Many people actually need to develop this, grow this attitude
And comes from joy
Those who struggle with joy struggle with gratitude
Being thankful, expressing it, actually brightens your day - brings a smile!
FINAL THOUGHTS
Thanksgiving begins when you are born again
Thanksgiving will NEVER end
Goes on for eternity!
Revelation - the scene of worship
Mention of Jesus, sights of Him - response is praise
Rev 5: 9-13 highlights?
in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Want to know God’s will?
Be thankful.
