FAITH CAPSULE: With thanks and praise is to find God.

Psalm 104

Thanking God and praising God is with desire to reach God.
One that reaches God is worshiping and seeking God.
Thanking and praising cannot be separated and should be to find God.
Psalm 150:6 states, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”
One who knows to praise is thanking God.
There is so much God has done, and He is doing that provokes thanking God as a way of life.
To thank and praise God is appreciating, giving regard, and acknowledging God for every good reason.
The character of God is good and deserves thanking and praising him, the perfect creator.
Do you realize that praising God should be at every breath?
Are you one who waits for thanking God elaborately once a year?
Thanking and praising God is not only at every breath but also at every moment.
Why thank God on your own time instead of every time?
Do your challenges reduce your thanking God?
Ignore your challenges, and always give thanks to God for all things.
Romans 8:28 records that all things work together for good. 
Ephesians 5:20 encourages, “Giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”  
For all things, in all things, give God thanks rooted in the heart, not just in the tongue.
Give thanks to God to gain the presence of God.
God inhabits (enthrones) the praises of His people. (Psalm 22:3)
Make it your way of life to gain the presence of God with thanksgiving and to retain His presence with praise.
Give thanks, praising God at all times!
Praising God is seeking God.
Psalm 47:7 records, “For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with understanding.”
As praising God is with understanding, giving thanks to God should be with understanding. One giving thanks to God with understanding will gain access to the presence of God. Psalm 100:4 buttresses the meaning of giving thanks to God with understanding by stating, “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.”
With the understanding of thanking God, Jesus thanks God for raising Lazarus from death after four days in the grave.
John 11:41-42 records, “Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me…”
A meaningful thanksgiving to God with understanding will provoke gaining the presence of God.
The word of God does not lie, unlike the word of man, full of lies.
To be alive is a privilege of God, the mercy of God, not a thing of merit.
Meditate by thanking God all day long.
Indeed, and in truth, thousands of tongues are not enough to thank God enough.
God alone is more than worthy of thanks and praise.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled with unceasing thanksgiving and praising God.
