1 Chronicles 23: 30
And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at evening.
Psalm 55:17
Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice.
Psalm 119:164
Seven times a day do I praise thee, because of Thy righteous judgements.
Thanksgiving, praise and prayer are all acts of worship which should never cease. Luke 19:40 says: "I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out" This was said to the Pharisees who wanted JESUS to rebuke the disciples for the people shouting, "Blessed be the King who comes in the Name of the LORD; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest."
Our thanksgiving, praise, prayers and worship should never end; morning, noon, night and even seven times a day. I have seen the discipline of seven times a day worship in a Monastery. Those who take a vow of perpetual adoration of the LORD, never stop thanking Him or praising His Name. I feel that there is a lesson in this for those of us who do not live in a Monastery, THANK GOD AND PRAY WITHOUT CEASING.
Thanksgiving is evidence of the degree of our faith. The thankful heart honors GOD; increases in faith; is peaceful; gives glory to GOD; is victorious through JESUS and prays without ceasing. THERE IS GREAT BLESSING FOR THOSE WHO LIVE THE LIFE OF WORSHIP
OF THESE SHOULD HOLD THEIR PEACE, IMMEDIATELY THE STONES WOULD CRY OUT
THANKS BE TO GOD
