Since Thanksgiving s this week I thought I'd share a few verses from the New Testament about giving thanks:
"...and here must be no filthiness and silly talk or coarse jesting,
which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks."
Ephesians 5:4
"...always giving thanks for all things
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father."
Ephesians 5:20
"Be anxious for nothing,
but in everything by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God."
Philippians 4:6
"...joyously giving thanks to the Father,
who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light"
Colossians 1:12
"And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks through Him to God the Father"
Colossians 3:17
"Devote yourselves to prayer,
keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving"
Colossians 4:2
"....in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus"
1 Thessalonians 5:18
"First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers,
petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men"
1 Timothy 2:1
"Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God,
that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name"
Hebrews 13:5
Here are some Old Testament ones too:
"It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High;
To declare Thy lovingkindness in the morning,
And Thy faithfulness by night."
Psalm 92:1-2
"O come let us sing for joy to the Lord;
Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
For the Lord is a great God,
And a great King above all gods."
Psalm 95:1-3 |
