Christians:A Reason To Be Thankful
Hebrews 13:15 KJV
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.
Hello, this is going to be my first article here, and am not all that sure of how to really begin. though an introduction would have been better, but i felt I needed to write about this first, I would probably do a proper introduction later on.
My first article is going to be like a mini series, before we actually go into this, I would like us to ask ourselves, a few questions
▫️Do I need a reason to be thankful?
▫️Are there already laid down reasons why I need to always be thankful?
Believers today assume they need a reason before they can actually be thankful to God. if what they asked God for has not been given to them, what's the need? This is exactly why most persons only thank God during holidays like general thanksgivings or on special occasions, which is the complete opposite of what God expects from us.
Psalm 95:2 KJV
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
but the question is how do we come into his presence with Thanksgiving when we do not see or have a reason to be thankful for? there are probably tons of debts you need to take care of, expenses you need to sort out, you may have been asking God for a particular thing and it is yet to come, with all these said, there are probably 101 reasons why you need to be unthankful, so why does God still expect us to always come into His presence with thanksgiving and a grateful heart?
the truth is we do not need a reason to be thankful because there are already reasons to be thankful at all times. even when we fail to realize these reasons, they still exist all around us. most times we just let our emotions get in the way of our rational thinking , it is usually the little things we feel do not matter or ignore, are the things we should be grateful for. This series would help us understand more, and see clearly the things we neglect.
Stayed tuned for more articles from me, and have a lovely day/night.
