Give thanks!!!
Psalm 100:4
Enter His gates with thanksgiving in your hearts and His courts with praise
To “Give thanks” is to show your appreciation for a gift received or service rendered. You can do this through words, songs, testimonies or doing something in return for God. Like volunteering to work in the house of God, cleaning and setting up church auditorium for service or volunteeri g to serve in prison or hospital mission.
The verse above says when you offer thanks to God it takes you into the presence of God ( enter His gates with thanksgiving)
Scripture also says Psalm 107:21-22 in that
Give thanks to God for His goodness and unfailing love towards mankind…..
Meaning, giving thanks to God not only takes us into His presence where there is fullness of joy but it also helps us fulfill our duty as creations of God.
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 says we should give thanks to God at all times, in good times and in bad times.
In good times we thank God for the blessings He has bestowed on us and in bad times we thank God for the victory He will give us over our circumstances.
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Thank God at least twice in a day. Thank Him in the morning for the gift of life and in the evening for taking you safely through the day.
Prayer
Meditate on the words of this song
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He’s given
Jesus Christ His Son
And now let the weak say, I am strong
Let the poor say I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us
Give thanks.
Amen
