GIVING THANKS TO THE LORD

Monday, November 22, 2010
Psalm 92: 1
It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy Name, O Most High.

GIVING THANKS IS A GOOD THING

I am often tempted to take one "o" out of good; if I did it would spell "GOD". It really is a GOD thing, to give thanks to the LORD. II Chronicles 29:31 tells us, that the people who are consecrated to the LORD can come near to Him. GOD hears the thankfulness in the heart of those who have given their life to follow Him. He is so blessed by this degree of dedication to Him, that He returns the thanksgiving with gifts in abundance.

Giving thanks to the LORD exalts and magnifies GOD. GOD is well pleased with the praises and thanksgiving of His people. Psalm 69:30 says: "I will praise the Name of GOD with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving." GOD is so good that no words can adequately express His awesomeness, or our thankfulness for Him. Therefore, exalting and magnifying Him among the people and singing praises to the Most High GOD is our way of saying "thank you, LORD, for who You are and for all that You have done".

This week, we will look at the 7 ways in which it is a "good thing" to give thanks to the LORD. The first of which is: It magnifies, glorifies and exalts His Name.

THANK YOU, LORD, FOR SAVING MY SOUL; THANK YOU, LORD, FOR MAKING ME WHOLE; THANK YOU, LORD, FOR GIVING TO ME, THY GREAT SALVATION SO RICH AND FREE.
