We instinctively understand the value of the word which is why we work so hard to train our children to use it. Like mentioned earlier, we certainly notice and we feel taken advantage of when we are not thanked. If we feel that way, how does God feel when we do not spend time thanking Him for all his provisions?

That thought really struck me, it should give us all serious pause. The Psalmist repeatedly calls us to give thanks to the Lord for two things: His loving-kindness, and for his miracles among men.

This is an outpouring of praise to God for who he is and what he has done. Thankfulness is about remembering and acknowledging what someone has done for us. We have so much to be grateful for in what God has done for us already, is doing, and will do for us. Before we jump on the thanksgiving bandwagon, we need to realize that genuine thankfulness is inextricably bound up with trust. We will never truly thank God until we first truly trust Him. When we combine thankfulness and trust in our Heavenly Father, what an incredible expression of worship.

Since it is so easy to forget, it becomes important that we find ways to cultivate a habit and an attitude of thankfulness. By not writing out that list each day it was beginning to impact my thinking. It also tends to make me blind to what is happening around me each day. Every time we stop to give thanks to God — to acknowledge His hand at work in, through, and around us — it fertilizes the soil that worship grows in.

God is glorified! To neglect to show God the gratitude due Him — even offering a flippant thanks — is being Unthankful. And shows no real understanding of who God is. You have given me eternity with You, and if that were the only benefit of salvation, that would be an unearned, undeserved, lavish gift.

How can I NOT be thankful? May I never take a moment of this life with You for granted — not a single breath of air, not a beat of my heart, not each new day, not any opportunity to sing Your praise.

For Your are holy. You are mighty. You are faithful to all generations.
