BE THANKFUL UNTO HIM

Scripture: Psalm 100:4 “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.”
   
     “Thanks” is defined in the Noah Webster’s 1828 dictionary as an “expression of gratitude; an acknowledgment made to express a sense of favor or kindness received. Gratitude is the feeling or sentiment excited by kindness; thanks are the expression of that sentiment.”  Our text verse tells us that we are to “be thankful unto him, and bless his name”.  We should be constantly in a state to where we can express our gratitude to Him for what He has done for us!
    Thanksgiving should never be just a one day a year thing, but rather a daily thing that we do as believers.  We are to enter into his gates with thanksgiving.  Every time we come before Him in prayer there should always be an expression of thanks for His goodness
toward us.
    We have so much to be thankful for today.  He daily loads us with benefits.  He has surely “blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.”  His praise should continually be upon our lips! The songwriter said, “When I look around and see, the good things He does for me, I know I’m unworthy of them all.  But His blessings He freely gives, I owe my life to Him, I’ve got so much to thank Him for.”   
    What have we to be thankful for?  We could thank Him for saving us!  For the rest of our lives down here and for all of eternity, we will be praising Him and thanking Him for reaching way down to where we were and saving our soul! What a wonderful Savior we have!  
    We need to be thankful to Him every day for His mercy and love and grace that He has given us! Are you saved today?  Why not just bless His name right now?
