2020 is here! What better way to start the New Year than to give thanks to God, appreciate the Lord for his goodness and mercy that has kept you. Know that it his love and mercy that has brought us into the year. Be grateful, Life is a gift, not a right, so let your life honor the Lord who made you for his glory.
Some people may say ‘Why should I give thanks? They could think of things they prayed for, but Thanksgiving is certainly the right way to start the year rather than complaining and murmuring because what you thank God for increases and is established so that you have more to thank God for, so it is with complaining, This is the secret of life.
Jesus gave thanks before he performed many of his great miracles, Thanksgiving activated the miracles even before they were done. Even though Jesus is God, he gave thanks. Sometimes we have to thank God before we receive the answers to our prayers.
Praise ,worship, thanksgiving: these are our ministrations to God. Some people don’t know how to say ‘Thank you’, But when you learn to thank God, you ll’d know how to appreciate others. You won’t take people for granted, your right attitude to them would encourage them to want to do more for you.
You can thank God no matter who you are, because God is worthy of our praise. He created us, we did not create ourselves. He made us for his glory. The way you live your life is a way of thanking God.
When you use the talents that God has given you to honor him, for the good of others, you are setting up yourself for a life of progress, greatness and peace with prosperity.
The scripture Psalm 136:1 ‘O Give thanks to the LORD; for he is good,for his mercy endureth for ever’ is spoken of several times in the bible to help us know that ‘Thanksgiving should be a way of life rather than a holiday’. You can’t thank God too much.
