Why We Should Give Thanks to the Lord

There are many ways to give thanks to the Lord. The way of the church has evolved over time. It is important to have an expression of thanks for all that he has done for our salvation. But sometimes we get caught up in just saying the words and not expressing our real feelings. This article will help you express your true feelings when you give thanks to the Lord.

Sometimes, when I give thanks for Jesus Christ I like to give thanks for the life He has given to so many. He died on the cross for me and for many others. He went the extra mile and died on the cross even when it was difficult for him to do so, we can be comforted by knowing that he has gone to a greater step in our service to the Lord. When we praise God for his goodness and blessings we are also praising God for our part in creating him and this world. So when we say, "I thank you, Lord," we are acknowledging a part of God's incomprehensible plan for creation and progress in our life to the end.

Another way to express my true feelings about what I appreciate most about God and life is to give thanks in song. Music is the language of the soul and what better way to express appreciation for something so wonderful than to sing it! Everyone likes to hear music in their homes, especially children, but when it comes to expressing our feelings of gratitude, the song is the way to go. You can write your own song or have someone else write one for you. It doesn't matter what form the song takes in its expression as long as you are thankful for what God has given to you in the form of song.

Sometimes all we need to say is, "Lord, give thanks to the Lord," and then we can sit back and take it easy as though nothing had happened at all. But, I know people who give thanks every moment of every day for the great things they have received from Him. They love the Lord and have confidence that He is able and will provide for them in every situation. It's hard to be negative about the Lord and live a positive and happy life, but with the power of prayer and praise, He can bless you with whatever you need and desire.

So, whether we are just going through a tough time or something major is going on in our lives, we need to say thanks to God for all He has given us. Music helps us to meditate and express our innermost gratitude to Him for everything He has given us. So, while you are struggling with something or are feeling down, remember to give thanks to the Lord for the privilege of being alive and to be part of the creation of the universe. Praise and worship Him and you will see the difference in your attitude and in the way you feel about yourself.
