Expressing Gratitude and Praise!

Expressing Gratitude and Praise

“Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; and to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God.” (Psalm 50:23)

Do you like it when people express gratitude to you and perhaps even praise you for something you have done? It strengthens your relationship with that person.

God loves for us to express our gratitude and praise to him. To praise God and express our gratitude to him embellishes our relationship with him. And our relationship with him is all that matters.

If we conduct ourselves in the right manner, we place ourselves in the right position where we can experience the salvation of God, subject to his timing. Throughout all of the areas of our lives, we can work at expressing gratitude to God and praising him for allowing us to live in the beauties of his creation. Even when things may not be going our way, there is usually something we can express gratitude for in every day.

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

If you have not been doing this, why not start now and see what happens?

Today, ask yourself:

Am I expressing my gratitude for my life to God every day?

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat.

Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...
