Introduction
Illustration: Secular use of “Thank God” vs. holy use
"Thanks" is an abbreviation of "thank you", so "Thanks, God" would be saying thank you as if speaking to God itself.
"Thank God" is a phrase spoken to someone else, suggesting that they are thankful to God for their good fortune.
Some Examples:
After narrowly avoiding a car while riding his bike, James looked up at the sky and said, "Thank you God!"
"Thank god!", responded Jennifer after hearing that James was unharmed.
I'm not certain but it seems like the phrases expand to:
Thank God > Let us thank God Thanks, God > Thank you, God
Transition To Body- When the Psalmist issues A Command To Give Thanks!
Psalmist is not on his way to the physical church building yet, he is thinking about church, He or She is just out and about looking around
When the Psalmist looks out into the earth at humankind- the people’s of the earth...
Then the Psalmist issues a command:
like Lawrence Fishburne in School Daze:
“Wake up!”
Whereas’ David says in Psalm 122
This Psalmist consider God and says
Psalm 100- A Psalm for Giving Thanks
Body- Thank God: When You/Me/We Come To Church We Ought Participate In
Joyful Praise Of The LORD
Joyful Attitude Of Service (Ministry) (Loudly Singing In the LORD’s presence)
How we serve matters?
The attitude which we serve matters.
Serving the LORD Ain’t A Mundane Affair!
Definitions of mundane
1. lacking interest or excitement; dull.
2. of this earthly world rather than a heavenly or spiritual one.
Mundaneness of the world vs. vitality of worship & being in the presence of the LORD
No grumbling here
They knew of God but did not worship God
Joyful Relationship Of Thanksgiving (to the LORD)
Reasons for Thanksgiving
information about a person, with a focus on the relationship with that person
Reason #1 The LORD God is our Creator & Caregiver
Reason #2 We Have Safety & Security @ The LORD God’s House (again)
Imagining What it feel like to approach the temple area (not inside the church yet)
Illustration: The annual pilgrimage to the LORD’s House
Reason #3 The LORD God’s Love & Faithful Commitment (for all perpetuity)
The LORD’s Good Plans For Your Life
Faithful God in the Midst of Faithless People
Illustration: Darwin Hobbs sang Exceedingly, Abundantly
Above all, all you could ask or think
According to, the power
That worketh in you, you…
God is able to do just what he said he would do
He's gonna fulfill every promise to you
Don't give up on God, 'cause he won't give up on you
He's able
[Chorus]
God is able to do just what he said he would do
He's gonna fulfill every promise to you
Don't give up on God, 'cause he won't give up on you
He's able
He’s able!”
God Who Goes Above & Beyond
if you can think it or conceive it
The LORD God is thinking something far greater....
perpetuity- an annuity payable forever

Jesus Regarding Permanent Joy
Ezra said to the people
Jesus who for the joy was set before him
Illustration: Thro' many dangers , toils and snares, I have already come; 'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home .-
Amazing Grace by John Newton
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind but now I see
Was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far
And Grace will lead us home
And Grace will lead us home
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
Was blind, but now I see
