O GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD

Scripture: 1 Chronicles 16:34 “O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

     The Bible is clear in its teachings concerning giving of thanks. The text verse tells us that we should give thanks to God, because He is good and because his mercy endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:8 says, “Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.” We are to make His deeds known through our thanksgiving. Let those who do not know Him know just how great He is.
     There are verses that tell us how to enter into His presence. Psalm 95:2 says, “Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.” Psalm 100:4 says, “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.”
     Leviticus 22:29 says, “And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the Lord, offer it at your own will.” Our thanks to Him is of little use if we have to be coaxed into giving it. It must come from our hearts. If must be done because we want to do it, because of who He is or what He has done for us.
     We have so much to be thankful for! He has blessed us in so many ways. We need to take the time to give Him the thanks that He so richly deserves. We need to thank Him for His grace that He has extended. We should thank Him for saving our soul. We should thank Him for the precious Word of God He has given to guide us through all the storms that come our way.
     Hebrews 13:15 says, “By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.” Will you not bow before Him and give Him thanks for what He has done for you?
