THANKSGIVING: FOR SPEAKING PRAISE

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Thanksgiving

a) Thanksgiving Day is a time to reflect and be thankful for all that God has given us. There are many great Bible verses for Thanksgiving to reflect on.

b) Let us not only be thankful one day a year but celebrate the greatness of our God with thanks everyday!  

Hebrews 12:28-29 

Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire.

2. For Speaking Praise   

a) Being in constant communication with God throughout the day is a great way to show thankfulness and honor.

1 Chronicles 16:34 
O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

Psalm 34:1 
I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Psalm 100:4  
Enter His gates with thanksgiving, And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His name.

Jonah 2:9  
But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving.  That which I have vowed I will pay Salvation is from the LORD.”

Ephesians 5:3-4  
But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints; and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. 

The End ...
