The book of #Psalms is full of examples and exhortations of giving #thanks to the #Lord.  Here in #America, we have a national holiday dedicated to #Thanksgiving.  But it is a biblical practice for all Christians around the world.  I was reading Psalm 100 today and verses 4 and 5 say, “Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise!  Give thanks to Him;  bless His name!  For the Lord is good;  His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations.”  

Brother Tommy is focusing today on Psalm 116.  What are four ways listed in the Psalm that we can use to offer up thanksgiving to the Lord?  How can we show our thanks to the Lord beyond lip service?  How often should we show our gratefulness?  Even on a rough day, we can find something for which to be thankful.  Why would God command this and how is it for our good?  If you proclaim your thankfulness but live like you have been slighted or wronged, are you truly thanksliving?

Do you need #encouragement today?  Who doesn’t?  If you watch the #news, the spotlight is on #politics, #race, #protests, #riots, and #virus.  But if you know #Jesus as your Lord and Savior, there is a bigger picture.  Paul was telling the Philippians the same thing thousands of years ago.  How can we receive a peace that passes all understanding?  What does gratefulness have to do with our mood?  If you don’t know where to start, let me share with you something I heard in a sermon that has stuck with me.  Our prayers should begin with thanksgiving to the Lord.  What if tomorrow you woke up and only had left what you thanked God for yesterday?  Time is short and windows of opportunity do not stay open long.  What should we do about that?
