Hebrews 13:15,16
By Him, therefore, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to GOD continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name. But to do good and to share forget not; for with such sacrifices GOD is well pleased.
We are a Kingdom of Priests, serving GOD continually with sacrifices that please Him. These sacrifices are not bulls and goats like the ancient sacrifices, but thanksgiving and praise of the One who gave His life for us all. JESUS is the perfect sacrifice for all sin and His blood paid the debt for us. We had a debt that we could not pay; He paid the debt He didn't owe. JESUS broke down the wall of separation between us and Him, so that we could come to Him boldly and with great joy.
What can we do to say "thank you, LORD" for all the He has done? We can do good and share with others, reaching out our hands in love to a hurting world, being ready to be broken bread and poured out wine for the life of another.
Thanksgiving should resound from our lips and in our heart without stopping even for a breath. It is the LORD who has given to us the breath, in order to praise Him. We are stewards of that breath, using it wisely as we glorify Him continually.
