These are just a tiny few verses that point to one of the most important aspects of a Christian's life. We are to give thanks. For everything and everybody, for the good things and the bad, from life until death and beyond.
Our thanks can be considered a form of sacrifice, if you will. It is a gift that we freely bring to the altar of our God. If we try to offer it when our heart isn't behind it, it is worthless. On the other hand, if we offer it from a heart that bows to Him, it blesses both the giver and the Receiver.
Giving thanks gives us a tool to remain humble as we see all that God Almighty and the Lord Jesus Christ has provided for us. It can rescue us from our depressions by letting us see the sunshine that is behind the storm clouds. Saying "Thank You" can restore our soul like a cold glass of water on a hot summer day.
Let us forever say, "Thank You, Lord!", for He is worthy of our thanks.
Grace and Peace....
