Thanks-living
Psalm 69:30NKJV says:"I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify Him with thanksgiving".
If you don't take thanksgiving serious, it shows you don't take God serious.
Thanksgiving
is the expression of your gratitude to God. I believe you know that if
it has not been God on your side you couldn't be alive to see today, so
it behooves you to end the first quarter with nothing but praises that
emanate from a grateful heart.
Many
believers pray fervently but very few give thanks fervently.
Thanksgiving is a commandment and it brings pleasure to God. Failure to
do this is setting yourself up for a life of frustration. No one takes
God for granted and that is not grounded in life. The future of the
un-thankful is sure, he can never succeed.
Beloved,
it doesn't matter what you think God has not done for you, the only
thing expected of you is to go into ceaseless giving of thanks to God.
Those who complain and grumble will only attract divine wrath. When you
are thanks- dry you'll be God- dry, because it takes giving praise to
attract the presence of God.
I put it to you
that God has been the Wind behind your wings and the Brain behind your
gain, and there is no way you can possibly pay for what He has done for
you other than to let praise emanate from your heart continually to Him.
No
matter the situation, give thanks because all things will eventually
work out for your good. Friends, the peak of faith is praise and there
is no unbelief like ingratitude.
Thanksgiving
is good but thanks living is far greater. This is when you move from
giving thanks to God, to living a life of thanks to God. At this point
you will never look for God, He Himself will look for you and abide with
you.
As you enter into the last half of the
year, determine to live a life of thanks to God and you will enjoy the
fullness of the blessings of His presence.
I celebrate you.
ACTION STEP
Spend
quality time to give God thanks and praise for His faithfulness over
your life and family and substantiate your thanksgiving with befitting
offering.
KEEP IN MIND
Thanksgiving is good but thanks- living is far greater.
Have a glorious day.
