Why does God say it’s good to give thanks?

It honors Him.

It refocuses our attention.

It releases us from anxiety

Philippians 4:6-7  

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

It refreshes our relationship with Him.

It reinforces our faith.

How do we express our thanksgiving to God?

By simply saying “Thank you.”

By singing.

By living a godly life.

By praising Him in public.

By giving generously.

Righteousness

Deuteronomy 9:5  

It is not because of your righteousness or your integrity that you are going in to take possession of their land; but on account of the wickedness of these nations, the LORD your God will drive them out before you, to accomplish what he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Deuteronomy 16:18  

Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town the LORD your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly.
