The Presence of the Lord will humble
your soul, and the love will cause a heart in you that is expedient to give
thanks to our Savior and Father.
So if there is someone you know that
doesn’t or isn’t willing to give thanks to the Lord, then pray to the Father
for them to have an experience of His Grace. Then they will Thank Him over and over again.
Here are some scriptures of Jesus
giving Thanks just before the miracle came forth… a lesson to learn from Him:
Matthew 15:36
36 And he took the seven loaves and
the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples,
and the disciples to the multitude.
Luke 22:17-20
17 And he took the cup, and gave
thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
18 For I say unto you, I will not
drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19 And he took bread, and gave
thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is
given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20 Likewise also the cup after supper,
saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
Anna the prophetess gave thanks as she
came in the presence of the Lord:
Luke 2:36-38
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess,
the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had
lived with a husband seven years from her virginity;
37 And she was a widow of about
fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God
with fastings and prayers night and day.
38 And she coming in that instant gave
thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for
redemption in Jerusalem.
The one leper that was healed returned
to the Lord to show his appreciation and thankfulness for the healing
(provision) given to him, and a greater miracle came forth to him because of
his actions (another lesson to learn from):
Luke 17:11-19
11 And it came to pass, as he went to
Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 And as he entered into a certain
village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
13 And they lifted up their voices,
and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 And when he saw them, he said unto
them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they
went, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them, when he saw that
he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16 And fell down on his face at his
feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answering said, Were
there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18 There are not found that returned
to give glory to God, save this stranger.
19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy
way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
Here are a couple more scriptures that
reveals more reasons to always be of a thankful heart to the Lord our God and
Father:
1 Corinthians 15:57-58
57 But thanks be to God, which
giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be
ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as
ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
2 Corinthians 2:14
14 Now thanks be unto God,
which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of
his knowledge by us in every place.
Amen.
