And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare His works with rejoicing.
Psalm 107:22
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.
Hebrews 13:15
God's definite will for the believer is that he shall be a fountain of praise and that his life shall be in thanksgiving to God at all times and in all circumstances. The Lord God, who is the Author of all our blessings, appreciates, desires, and even seeks our praise and thanksgiving. "Whosoever offers praise glorifies Me" (Ps. 50:23). And the Psalmist also said,
"Every day will I bless Thee, and I will praise Thy name
for ever and ever" (Ps. 145:2).
We are to thank God in all things; the Lord knows what is best for us, and He is ordering the course of our life, bringing the details to pass in the time and manner of His desire. He has never made a mistake, and what He allows to come into the life of His child is for the good of that child and for the glory of God. Any chastisement that ever reaches us comes for our profit, that we might be partakers of His holiness (Heb. 12:10).
Donald Barnhouse
To be out of harmony with the things, acts, and events, which God in His providence has seen fit to array around us —that is to say, not to meet them in a humble, believing, and thankful spirit—is to turn from God. And, on the other hand, to see in them the developments of God's presence, and of the Divine Will, and to accept that Will, is to turn in the opposite direction, and to be in union with Him.
