You do not think thanks you give thanks to God in every moment engagement. Giving thanks and praising God cannot be separated both goes together as stated in <strong><em>Psalm 92:1, \u201cIt is<\/em><em> good to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Are you thinking thanks instead of giving thanks?<br \/>\nWith understanding, giving thanks to God is the key for all things to work together for good. Give well-meaning thanks and praise to God, not thinking thanks and praise. Psalmist buttressed thanks and praise to be with understanding as stated, <strong><em>\u201cFor God is the king of all the earth; sing praises with understanding.\u201d (Psalm 47:7) <\/em><\/strong>Certainly, when understanding backs up conviction, it delivers an undeniable miracle. Know it that when thanking and praising God is without understanding, it becomes empty emotion. Thanking and praising God is always an act of declaring His goodness. The Psalmist buttressed, <strong><em>\u201cIt is<\/em><em> good to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High. To declare Your loving kindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness every night.\u201d (Psalm 92:2)<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong>Giving thanks and praising God is not limited to any man\u2019s guideline. <strong><em>Psalm 92:3<\/em><\/strong> identified way of giving thanks as stated, <strong><em>\u201cOn an instrument of ten strings, On the lute, And on the harp, With harmonious sound.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>King David also demonstrated giving thanks and praise by leaping and whirling before the Lord. (2 Samuel 6:16) Thanking and praising God can be like King David\u2019s dance before God.<br \/>\nIt is never too much to be giving God a ceaseless thanks and praise. The Psalmist declared why we should thank and praise God by stating, <strong><em>\u201cFor You, LORD, have made me glad through Your work; I will triumph in the works of Your hands. O LORD, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep.\u201d <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>(Psalm 92:4-5)<\/em><\/strong> God is worthy of thanks and praise worship to declare His work. Giving thanks and praise is also the evidence of giving God attention which is due for Him. Evidently, volumes and pages of book will never be enough to identify goodness of God. Truly, giving thanks and praise will gain God\u2019s attention because God inhabits the praises of His people. Give thanks and praise to God for all things He has done; for all things He is doing and for all things one expects from Him.<br \/>\nAre you expecting God to move concerning your confronting situation? Regardless of the magnitude of your situation, believe and give thanks to God before manifestation of your expectation. Jesus believed that God was going to bring Lazarus back to life from death. Jesus did not wait for Lazarus to rise before He thanked God for Lazarus\u2019 rising from dead. It is written, <strong><em>\u201cThen they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, \u2018Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. <\/em><\/strong><sup>\u00a0<\/sup>And I know that You always hear Me<strong><em>\u2019\u201d (John 11:41-42) <\/em><\/strong>Your Lazarus will rise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prayer for today:<\/strong> <em>Ask God for His grace to always enable your thanks and praise giving before Him.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FAITH CAPSULE: Give well-meaning thanks and praise to God, not thinking thanks and praise.
