FAITH CAPSULE: Giving thanks should not be based on feelings but on a regular basis.
Psalm 107
Regardless of past and present challenges, to see a new day is a great grace not a right. For a new day, turn to God and give thanks. Giving thanks to God is crucial; giving thanks to God should not be a casual way of appreciating God. Psalm 107:1 stated, “Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Psalm 92:1, “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High” The book of Revelation 11:17 also stated, “We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The One who is and who was and who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power and reigned.”
Give thanks to God always, give thanks for all things to God by not taken God for granted. How are you living a “thanks-giving” life? Word of God through the bible demonstrates the need for giving thanks always when situations are going the way we want it and when situations are not going the way we want it. Thanks giving should always be deep from the heart. It can be challenging to give thanks when confronting situation becomes exceedingly challenging and testing. Giving thanks to God should not be an every now and then sacrifice, it should be a regular sacrifice. Giving thanks should not be based on how you feel, but to fill your heart with thanking to God. Giving thanks should not be delivered to God only at times of convenience but it should be of commitment.
Do you know to give thanks to God for all things? One that knows to give thanks to God for all things will have all things work together for good as Romans 8:28 buttressed, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God…”
Are you taking to the word of God in part or in whole? The word of God is directly related and none of His word can be left out to achieve the purpose of another. John 6:63 stated, “The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” The word of God is spirit and when it is being done in us it becomes evidence that the Spirit of God dwells in us. The word of God is what we need to fill us; build us and position us to inherit our possession in Christ Jesus. Take to the word of God in whole by giving thanks for all things and all things will work together for good. In sincerity, begin to give thanks to God as a serious priority. Regardless of situation, give thanks always to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus.
Prayer for today: Ask for God’s enablement to live life of giving thanks to God.
