FAITH CAPSULE: Adopt self to giving thanks with understanding to God for His visitation.
Psalm 104
Praising God is seeking God. Psalm 47:7, recorded, “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. Giving thanks to God with understanding will grant one that is thanking God with undeniable access to the presence of God. Psalm 100:4 buttressed meaning of giving thanks to God with understanding, “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.” Jesus gave thanks to God with understanding and it brought out Lazarus up from death of four days. It is written, “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…” (John 11:41-42) A meaning full thanks giving to God with understand will provoke the full of God’s manifestation. The word of God does not lie only the word of man is full of lie.
To be alive is a privilege it is not a right; to be alive is of mercy and it is not a thing of merit. Think of it, you are not just alive, but you are able to see the light of a new day. Your eyes are functioning, your legs are not stagnated, and your mind is in right condition. What a privilege of God to be alive? Think of it, turnaround from whatever is keeping you down from opening your mouth wide, giving God glorious thanks giving. From today, make it a pattern of life to be rising by giving thanks to God with understanding. God alone privilege man with qualification to be alive seeing the light of a new day. It is worthy to be seeking God’s face by appreciating Him for the grace of your being alive for the season. In the place of planning for the season without God is an error that will reduce man before God.
The psalmist praised, “O Lord my God, You are very great: You are clothed with honor and majesty, Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment, Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain. He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters, Who makes the clouds His chariot, Who walks on the wings of the wind, Who makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of fire.” (Psalm 104:1-4) It is a wise move for man to take just a line out of the above scriptural verses and meditate on it all day long. Indeed, and in truth, thousands of tongues are not enough to thank God enough. God alone is more than worthy of all praise and adoration.
Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace of unceasing thanks giving with understanding to Him.
