"...give thanks to Him and praise His name” - Psalm 100:4
But what happened when we don't give thanks?
• Lack of Joy: Thanksgiving brings Joy. When we refuse to be thankful, we become joyless. Joy is not situational. Happiness is. Joy is found in the good times and the bad. Being ungrateful and lacking in thanksgiving block your ability to know and experience joy. Being thankful fast tracks your ability to be joyful.
• We miss out on worshipping God: Worship starts with Thanksgiving. You can't worship God without been thankful. I’m yet to find the verse that says, “Come before God with the saddest and most frustrated self you’ve got. Give to God out of the tightly grasped dollars in your pocket. Enter his courts with complaining on your lips.” No, the Psalms actually say:
“Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.” (Psalm 95:2)“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name” (Psalm 100:4).Your worship to God should kickstarted by Thanksgiving.An ungrateful heart can never experience the True depth of worship to God.It's dangerous to be ungrateful and thankless. Unthankfulness is a sign of spiritual decline.It's another day, a day that the Lord has made, be thankful for this day. No matter what, rejoice and be grateful.A gracious Morning to you and do have a lovely Tuesday.
