"Praise the Lord!
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever." Psalm 106:1

This has been a week of our God working mightily in very hard situations, and in trust and obedience to Him, He has blessed beyond measure! There are still hard and serious situations, but our mighty God is ever faithful.
So let us take this day to join our hearts and our voices in thanksgiving to Him for His goodness and give Him praise and honor for it is His alone!

"Vine's Expository Dictionary Of Old and New Testament Words" says, "Thanksgiving is the expression of joy Godward, and is therefore the fruit of the Spirit."
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control." Galatians 5:22-23

"The Illustrated Dictionary of the Bible" Herbert Lockyear, Sr, Editor"
says,
"The praise of man toward God is the means by which we express our joy to the Lord. We are to praise God both for who He is (adoration) and for what He does (thanksgiving). [My parentheses]

"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations." Psalm 100:4-5

"Giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Ephesians 5:20

"In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18

We thank God in anticipation of answered prayer:
"Be anxious for nothing, but by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." Philippians 4:6 In response to asking with thanksgiving Scripture tells us, "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Vs. 7

Colossians 3:17 tells us,
"And whatever you do in word or deed do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."

With thankful hearts we give all praise to God; Father, Son and Holy
Spirit--
In song:
"Sing praises to the Lord, enthroned in Zion;  Proclaim among the nations what He has done." Psalm 9:11

"I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;  I will sing praise to my God while I have my being." Psalm 104:33

With musical instruments:
"Praise the Lord with the harp;
 Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings." Psalm 33:2

Praise Him perpetually:
"Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name." Hebrews 13:15

"My tongue will speak of Your righteousness And of Your praises all day long." Psalm 37:28

Let all praise Him universally:
"Let the people praise You, O God;
 Let all the people praise You." Psalm 67:3

In Revelation 5:13 all of creation is praising God, "Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, sing:
'To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever.'"

We sing in our Fellowship--
"We worship and adore You
Bowing down before You
Songs of praises singing,
Hallelujahs ringing.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Amen

All praise, honor and glory are Yours; Father, Son and Spirit! Amen
