“Praise the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” Psalms 106:1
In the Bible, the meaning of thanksgiving is reflected adoration, sacrifice and praise.
Bible says, Nehemiah assembled two great choirs to give thanks for God’s faithfulness in rebuilding the wall. (Nehemiah 12:27).
The true meaning of Thanksgiving is an attitude of the heart that reinforces an intimate relationship with God.
When we are thankful, we recognize that God exists, and we are acting on the reality of His being as the very source and means of our existence. True thankfulness recognizes our total dependence on God and stems from realizing that everything going on in our lives and all we have is the product of God’s sovereign control, His infinite wisdom, purposes and grace. (2 Corinthians 4:15).
Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, I pray that my heart would remain tender towards You and be filled with prayers of thanksgiving and praise for Your holy name’s sake. Amen!
