Psalm 95: 1,2
Oh, come, let us sing unto the LORD; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms.
THANKSGIVING OPENS HEAVEN
The heart that is thankful to GOD for all He has done, holds a key that unlocks the gates of Heaven. Prayer from the thankful heart, reaches the heart of GOD. Psalm 100: 4 tells us to "enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise; be thankful unto Him, and bless His Name." I love the image of a grand court with the King present. We enter into that court through a door which opens with the key of thanksgiving. We enter singing songs of praise for the LORD GOD, King of the Universe; JESUS Christ the Word made flesh and the Holy Spirit, the comforter. As we enter, we bow low at the Holy presence of the Holy One. The King calls us to come near and we speak to Him like a child speaks to the father. JESUS is our King and we are the children of the King.
The first "good thing" that happens when we are thankful people, is that it magnifies, glorifies and exalts the LORD. The second is that in everything there is the will of GOD in Christ JESUS concerning you, so be thankful in everything. The third "good thing" is that Heaven is opened and we have access to the throne of grace.
THANK YOU LORD, FOR THE LORD IS GOOD; HIS MERCY IS EVERLASTING, AND HIS TRUTH ENDURETH FOREVER
