June 28 - Giving Thanks



Giving Thanks

I give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endureth forever.  It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord and to sing praises unto Thy name, O most High.  I will give Thee thanks in the great congregation:  I will praise Thee among much people.  So we Thy people and sheep of Thy pasture will give Thee thanks forever:  we will shew forth Thy praise to all generations.

Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.  I exhort, therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority.  Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving.  Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.  Let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.  As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him; rooted and built up I Him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.  And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;  giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place.

And He took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave unto them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you:  this do in remembrance of Me.”   Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift.

In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.  And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.  By Him, therefore, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name.  We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, the One who is, and who was, and who is to come, because You have taken Your great power and reigned.
