The importance of Thanksgiving
Psalm 100:4
Enter into His gates with Thanksgiving and into His courts with praise
Everyone loves to be appreciated for the good work he or she does. Our heavenly Father also loves to be appreciated for the many blessings He bestows on us.
In the verse above, the Psalmist shows us how to enter into the presence of God. We can go before our King with praise and thanksgiving.
John 4:24 says those who worship the Lord should do so in spirit and in truth.
Meaning, the sincerity with which we praise and worship God would determine how God responds to us.
Without sincere praise and thanksgiving we cannot get God to move on our behalf
1 Thessalonians 5:18
In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
This verse from the new testament emphasizes that Thanksgiving should not be offered to God only in good times. Even in bad times we are to thank God for the salvation and victory He will give us.
Romans 8:28 says all things will work together for our good, both the good and the bad .
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Learn to show your gratitude to God at all times.
Prayer

Thanks, thanks

My soul is at rest
Oh Lord
I give you thanks
Amen
