Nehemiah 12: 46
Speaks of how David and Asaph led in singing "songs of praise and hyms of thanksgiving to God."
Psalm 26 and Psalm 69 - of David
Psalm 50 - of Asaph
Psalm 95
Psalm 100
Psalm 107
Psalm 116
Psalm 147
All these Psalms mention Thanksgiving.
Isaiah 51:3; Jeremiah 30:19; Amos 4:5; and even Jonah 2:9 all employ Thanksgiving.
And in the New Testament:
II Corinthians 4:15, 9:11; Philippians 4:6; Colossians 2:7, 4:2; I Timothy 4:3, 4 all mention Thanksgiving.
And Revelation 7:12 says that all the Angels and the Four Living Creatures in Heaven worship before the Throne of God with Thanksgiving.
I'm not mentioning all the other verses that use the words: thank, thanked, thankful, thankfulness, thanks, and thankworthy. Or the thank-offerings.
God repeated this concept so often in His Word to show us how important it is for us to do. To have an attitude of Thanksgiving as a hallmark of our everyday lives.
For Americans to observe as a Holiday, Thanksgiving, is a testament to our Christian, Bible-believing Founders, as well as the importance for our Nation to give God thanks for all He has given us, acknowledging that He is our Source.
Here's something to think about: What if you woke up tomorrow morning with only what You thanked God for today?
I'm glad God's not that petty! But it is to our benefit, our good health, and our National good to remember to give God Thanksgiving every day. He is good every day, and He blesses us every day. Because He is Good.
Thank You, God.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
