"Give thanks to The Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done. Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell of all His wonderful acts. Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek The Lord rejoice. Look to The Lord and His strength; seek His face always." Psalms 105:1-4 (NIV)
In this psalm King David is encouraging Israel and us to give God thanks, to remember what He has done, to rejoice and praise Him for doing it, and to tell others about it as we continue to seek His face.
We are encouraged throughout the Bible to give thanks unto The Lord. Psalms 105, 106, 107, 118, and 136 all begin with the phrase, "O give thanks unto The Lord ..." and then they each go on to provide a reason for doing so. During this Thanksgiving holiday season, and every day into the future, we need to give God thanks. Express your joy and gratitude, and share them with others.
