What Is Thanksgiving?
The three components of honouring God are thanksgiving, praise and worship.
Thanksgiving is connected to His Goodness - We offer thanksgiving for what God gives us. We can be thankful for our very own life breath, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, His provision and protection, etc.
Praise is connected to His Greatness - We praise God for what He is. He is great, He is awesome, He is glorious.
Worship is connected to His Holiness - We worship God for who He is.
THANKSGIVING
Psalm 100:4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
As we approach God with an attitude of gratitude, that will open the spiritual realms.
Psalm 50:14 Offer to God thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High.
1 Corinthians 14:15 So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding.
Our being has three realms - body, soul and spirit - when we offer thanks, our body is involved; as we praise Him, our mind is involved and when we worship Him, our spirit is involved.
Start with thanksgiving, go through praise and land in worship.
God is good even to the wicked, because He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. God pours out His general blessings upon all mankind. We are so dependable upon God and therefore, we must be grateful to Him for this beautiful gift of life.
Romans 1:21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
We often forget/neglect to be grateful for what we already have and are more inclined to complain about what we don’t have.
We can understand the greatness of God when we look around, from the great display of God's handiwork/creation.
Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
However, we can understand God's holiness only through revelation.
Hebrews 12:28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.
