Expressing Gratitude to God A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. (Psalms 100:1-5) If you’re a
Christian, you probably know that thanking the Lord for His
blessings is an important aspect of your relationship with Him. But
have you ever considered the different ways this can be done?
Gratitude isn’t limited to verbal expressions or prayers but can
actually be demonstrated in a variety of ways. In the Psalms, one of the most
frequently mentioned methods of conveying thanks is by singing.
Songs can often say what our heart feels but has trouble
articulating. As the words from our favorite hymns or praise songs
flow from our lips, we are reminded of who God is and the magnitude
of His salvation and love for us. And singing isn’t reserved just
for church. When we’re filled with gratitude, we may find ourselves
humming or singing songs that magnify the Lord wherever we are. Another way to express gratefulness is
by serving God—whether through acts of kindness, teaching Sunday
school or Bible study, organizing a ministry, reaching out to
marginalized people, sharing the gospel with the lost, helping
someone in need, or giving financially. Every one of these can be
offered to God with an attitude of thanksgiving for all He’s done
for us.
Ultimately, we show the Lord our gratitude through obedience. A holy
life flows from a heart filled with thankfulness for God’s grace,
mercy, love, and salvation. Instead of living for ourselves and our
own pleasures, we’ll want to exalt Christ in all that we do, say,
and think. And as we allow God’s Spirit to control us, He will
faithfully enable us to live in a manner that is pleasing and
honoring to the Lord.
