Let Thanksgiving be the Habit of your Life

“He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God.”

Psalm 50:23

Why is thanksgiving so important? It acknowledges God in the situation.

When things go wrong the last thing we want to do is give thanks. But it’s the most beneficial. Thanksgiving prepares the way for God’s salvation to come in. He who sacrifices thank offerings honours me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God (Psalm 50:23)
“Give thanks in all circumstances,” Paul writes “for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

God can do anything with a thankful heart, but He can do little for a complaining one. It is closed to his grace.

God's Promise 

Ephesians 6:12

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Psalm 92:1-2

It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night.

Jeremiah 17:7

But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.

Thoughts 

Our God hovers over us with love.

Interruptions can be opportunities to serve.

Your next crisis is your next opportunity to trust our unfailing God.

There’s no greater privilege than praying with Jesus.

Words of truth spoken in love can guide us all toward maturity in Christ.
