Ephesians 5: 19-20
"Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; - Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ"
The pattern of living of a Christian should be daily thanksgiving and thanks living. In whatever position we are in life; there is need to be content, not taking the blessings of God for granted. We should have a continual attitude of praising and thanking God.
Giving thanks to God should be expressed outwardly and not internalized. When you thank God, more blessings will follow. There is always things to show gratitude for; that God Has done, however little. Hebrews 13:15 says ” Let us offer…Praise to God continually…Our lips giving thanks to His name.
Jesus detested murmuring. It is a sign of ingratitude for what God Has done for us; and lack of faith that God is able to meet us at every point of our needs. It amounts to Christians giving up and putting God on the spot even far away from them. Murmuring attracts the wrath of God, and and as such the murmurers be destroyed of the destroyers reference “1 Corinthians 10:10. ” Giving thanks pave way for more blessings and favors from God. In any sort of grievance, tell God. He would arise. The Hebrews young men “challenged” God in the fire and He arose for them for total deliverance. When you keep the steam of your sacrifice of praise on, victory will come from all sides. Keep a THANKFUL ATTITUDE in prayers this thanksgiving and leave the rest to God.
