We should always be thankful in everything. One thing I have learned in life...whenever someone does something for you or gives you something, you should always say thank you. Even if you receive a present that you don’t particularly want, take it with a smile on your face and still say thank you. The Bible makes it clear that our thanksgiving ought to be rooted and grounded in the revelation of Who God is.
We as Christians can sometimes be ungrateful with others and even ungrateful to God. When it comes to God, we take Him for granted. When it comes to God, the only time we seek Him is when we want something from Him. The only time we seek the face of God is when we are in trouble.
So Why should we give thanks unto the Lord? The psalmist says in verse 2 of Psalm 103, Bless the Lord oh my soul, and forget not all His benefits. Some Christians seem to forget what God has done for them. Let’s look at some of His benefits we shouldn’t forget.
1. When you opened your eyes this morning and you knew you were in the land of the living that’s a benefit.
2. If you were able to swing yourself out of bed without assistance that’s a benefit.
3. If you were able to walk to the bathroom and take care of your personal needs without assistance, that’s a benefit.
4. If you are able to put on your clothes without assistance, that’s a benefit.
5. If you are able to fix your own food and feed yourself, that’s a benefit.
6. If you are able to maintain a roof over your head, that’s a benefit.
7. If you are able to handle day-to-day problems and not lose your mind because God has regulated your mind, that’s a benefit.
8. When you were sick, and you called on Jehovah Rapha, the God that healeth, that’s a benefit.
9. When you needed God to show up and show out, you called on Jehovah Elohim, the one true God, that’s a benefit.
10. When you had to go to court, and you needed someone to step in for you, you called on Jehovah Nissi, the Lord is your banner, that’s a benefit.
11. When your money was acting funny and you needed to provide for your family, you called on Jehovah Jireh, the Lord that will provide, that’s a benefit.
So we should offer up a continuous "Thank You" to our God because He is continuously taking care of us!! THANK YOU, LORD!!
