Psalm 92. 1
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High.
God delivered the children of Israel from Egypt. Exodus 12.51. As they came to Mara, they could not drink of the water. Exodus 15. 23 After their deliverance from Egypt you would think that they would trust the same God who delivered them and be able to provide water. He also provided manna in the wilderness Exodus 16.16.
Despite the miracles God performed in showing Israel how much he cared and would provide for them, they murmured and complained. The history of Israel is a history of ingratitude.
Eph 4. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God.
Many times we look at our circumstances and we tell ourselves things are so difficult; but if we begin to focus on being thankful what a world of difference would it make.
For those of us with children we must be able to teach them to be thankful. As they eat they breakfast and their dinner each day, let them realise that there are many children in various parts of the world who go to bed hungry every night. Many do not have the various material comforts that we do have. As adults we must also give thanks. For those of us who are not suffering from terminal illnesses let us be thankful that we do not have to bear this pain.
The people or Haiti suffered a terrible earthquake in 2010 many have not recovered from it. Many of us would never like to experience what they have and are still experiencing.
Thanksgiving shows God that we appreciate his blessings. We must never take anything for granted.
Philippians 4 .11. Not that I speak in respect of want; for I have learned, in whatsover state I am, therewith to be content.
Thanksgiving is a special virtue. But ingratitude is opposed to thanksgiving. Therefore ingratitude is a special sin.
Thomas Aquinas
Gratitude opens up your heart and your mind allowing you to reflect on the good that has happened to you which in turn makes you happy and drives contentment in your life. [FONT=arial, sans-serif]Bola Onada Sokunbi, Goal Setting To Live Your Dreams[/FONT]
