Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving – for the supply of our bodily wants:

Romans 14:6-7

6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

7 For none of us liveth to himself and no man dieth to himself.

Thanksgiving – for all men:

Timothy 2:1 

Exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

Thanksgiving – for all things:

2 Corinthians 9:11 

Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

Thanksgiving – should be accompanied by intercession for others:

1 Timothy 2:1 

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

Thanksgiving – should always accompany prayer:

Colossians 4:2 

Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

Thanksgiving – for wisdom and glowing health:

Daniel 2:23

 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.

Thanksgiving – for the triumph of the gospel:

2 Corinthians 2:14

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place.
