Thanksgiving

Hebrews 13:15 says, "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." (NASB)

How oftern do we give thanks to God and praise His name? Sure we may go through our routine of thanking God for our food, and around thanksgiving time we may evenn make a list of the things God has done in our live during this past year. But do we "continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God" as the verse says?

Continually doesn't mean once a year or once a day for that matter. It implies that it is repeated without interruption. David said in Psalms 34:1, "I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth." (NASB) He also said in Psalm 119:62, "At midnight I shall rise to give thanks to You Because of Your righteous ordinances." (NASB) When was the last time you were up at midnight giving thanks and praising God.
Consider also Psalms 119:164, "Seven times a day I praise You, Because of Your righteous ordinances." (NASB) Do we stop seven times a day to thank and praise God? Do we even stop once or twice a day?

Make thanksgiving a continual part of your life.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
