What better time to take a look at what Scripture has to say about Thankfulness than as we approach Thanksgiving. Today we are going to take at look at Thankfulness in Psalms. Focusing especially on thankfulness for who God is. Here are some thing that the Psalmist tells us to be thankful for.
Salvation
"I will give you thanks, for you answered me; you have become my salvation." Psalm 118:21
God’s Righteousness
"I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness; I will sing the praises of the name of the LORD Most High." Psalm 7:17
God’s Goodness
"Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever." Psalm 106:1
God’s Love
"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever." Psalm 107:1
God’s Works
"Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind" Psalm 107:8
God’s Glory
"Save us, LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise." Psalm 106:47
God’s Name
"I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving." Psalm 69:30
Joy
"A psalm. For giving grateful praise. Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth." Psalm 100:1
We are called to live lives of thankfulness.
"rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." Colossians 2:7
Knowing who God is increases our understanding of how he blesses our lives. What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than with a grateful heart acknowledging God in all of His wonder and power. Let thankfulness become a part of us.
