An Attitude of Gratitude

Thanksgiving Day "An Attitude of Gratitude"
November 28, 2019

So I got to thinking, what are the proper ways to make a thanksgiving offering unto our God?
Leviticus 22:29 says, And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own will.

The word will, as used here, means delight, desire, good pleasure, voluntary.

1. When we offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, we should do it voluntarily and out of
     delight in our heart. 

David gives us the answers in the book of Psalms:
2. We tell of all God's wondrous works in our life and thank Him.
     That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all Thy wondrous works. (26:7)

3. We pay our vows, which are promises to God.
    Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows  unto the Most High. (50:14)

4. Praise the name of God with a song.
    I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving. (69:30)

5. Come before His presence and joyfully sing psalms. 
     Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto Him with
     psalms. (95:2)

6. When we come into His sanctuary and even the throne room of Jesus in prayer, we are to give
     thanks, praise, and bless His name as an act of adoration while kneeling down.
     Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful
     unto Him, and bless His name. (100:4)

7. Declare the works (actions) of God with rejoicing.
     And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and declare His works with rejoicing.  
      107:22)

Which one do we need to apply in our life today?
Are we singing God's praises?
Are we giving thanks for His wondrous works?
Do we bless His name with adoration?
Is our attitude of gratitude?

Thank You Jesus, for giving everything to me that I have!
Thank You for everyone who joins me in this study.
Have a blessed day everyone!
