Giving of Thanks

"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (1 Thessalonians 5:18 ESV)

"Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!"
(Psalm 118:1 ESV)

"And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God." (Colossians 3:15-16 ESV)

"First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world." (Romans 1:8 ESV)

"Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples." (1 Chronicles 16:8 ESV)

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." (Philippians 4:6 ESV)

"Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name." (Psalm 100:4 ESV)

"Saying, Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen." (Revelation 7:12 ESV)

Today I am thankful that God created me with the capacity to worship and give thanks. I thank Him that through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ and through regeneration by the Holy Spirit, I have the desire to do so. Thank you Father God for your love for me.
