Gratitude

By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to his name. Hebrew 13:15

Bible Reading: Psalm 95:1-7

Gratitude means appreciating to someone for something they did or they will do. Gratitude unto God is a time set apart to reflect on God’s goodness and praise Him for His doings and His promises concerning us. We are to give thanks to God in all situation and this we can do through dancing, singing or by saying a prayer of thanksgiving. Showing gratitude pleases. In fact, God inhabits the praises of his people (Psalm 22:3).

King David is an example of a man who knew how to thank God so much so that God described him as a man after His own heart. We are to thank God for His faithfulness, power, love, preservation, our salvation, hope, blessings, deliverance and so many numerous things. Giving thanks to God keeps our heart in constant communication with Him and we receive His blessings regularly. Sacrifice of praise is that which we offer to God when life isn’t going the way we planned it but we still choose to believe God and trust Him for the best. Nahum 1:7, Job 13:15.

Action Point: Our praise to God should be continual and not based on our circumstances.

Intercessory prayer: Appreciate God for the intercession we have made prayed.

Hymn: Praise my soul the King of heaven

To His feet thy tribute bring

Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven

Who like me His praise should sing?
