How Often Do You Say Thank You To God by Jason Patchett
Hey Everyone,
I pray that you are having a blessed New Year so far! I was driving home last night and as I was singing in my car. God was so good to show me that we can thank Him in all situations!
I just want to encourage you to remember to thank God for everything He's done for you in your life, and even for the hard times that He has pulled (or is pulling) you through!
Sometimes I think we just forget, and it's a great reminder that God is truly glorified when we praise Him, worship Him, and thank Him for who He is!
Our God is a good God!
Here are a few examples of things that Scripture tells us people thanked Him for!
- Praising God for Deliverance - Exodus 15, Ezra 7:27
- Praising God for His goodness - Psalm 100, 103, 106, 107
- Praising God for His Son, Jesus - Luke 2:25-38
- Praising God for Wisdom - Romans 11:33-36
- Praising God for Suffering - Acts 5:41, 16:25
These are only a few examples of the numerous times in Scripture that people are thanking God for everything!!! All of these things, deliverance, goodness, Jesus, wisdom, suffering, and all situations can be summed up in this one verse - Ephesians 5:19b-20 - Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Have a blessed week as you serve and thank Him for all that He is!!!
God bless,
Jason Patchett
Philippians 2:3-5
Give thanks in all that you do, and glory to the Highest
