In every thing give thanks. 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Be thankful unto him, and bless his name. Psalm 100:4
We should always have a spirit of gratefulness but often our thankfulness is helped and motivated by reasons. In the early chapters of Ephesians, Paul gives us many compelling reasons to be grateful to our God. We have been blessed “with all spiritual blessings” (1:3). We are “without blame before him in love” (1:4). We have “the forgiveness of sins” (1:7). He has given us “wisdom and prudence” (1:8) and an inheritance from God (1:11) We have been “sealed with that holy Spirit of promise” (1:13) and we are His masterpiece (2:10). —Ken Gross
Thank you Lord for saving my soul, thank you Lord for making me whole.
Thank you Lord for giving to me, Thy great salvation, so rich and free. —S. Sykes
