“When you bring a thanksgiving offering to the LORD, it must be sacrificed properly so it will be accepted on your behalf” (Lev 22:29 NLT).
God wants us to offer thanksgiving to Him but it is not all thanksgiving that God accepts. Any thanksgiving that is not accepted by God is therefore a waste on the part of the person who offers it.
While it's good to thank God, it is good to thank Him right. There are many things that could make a Thanksgiving wrong;
Thanksgiving must be Freewill: a forced thanksgiving is not acceptable. You must never be coerce or forced into giving thanks to God.
Don’t do thanksgiving grudgingly; it won’t be accepted by God. God can do without your thanksgiving; He has enough heavenly beings offering Him quality worship day and night (Rev 4:8-11)
Your Thanksgiving to God must be voluntary.
Don’t offer thanksgiving to God under duress even when there is a call for the whole church to do thanksgiving. You’re not bound to thank Him but it’s foolish not to do so. If you don’t thank Him several others are too eager and willing to do so. Heaven won’t even miss your thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving must come freely from you.
We study more tomorrow on Unacceptable Thanksgiving.
Top of the Morning to you and do have a blessed week...
