Truth is: Right now we all have much to be grateful for. Give God Thanksgiving. Give him abundant praise, he is truly worthy of our best praise even at our worst moments.
We all have some problems.
We all are waiting for something/somethings
So what do we do in the meantime - Give God Thanksgiving. Even you don't feel like it - Rejoice!
1 Thessalonians 5:16 - 18
16 Rejoice always and delight in your faith; 17 be unceasing and persistent in prayer; 18 in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus
Some translations use give thanksgiving instead of rejoice.
Let us think carefully on this: here is a wonderful gift to give thanksgiving for - the gift of salvation. I am mostly and eternally grateful for this privilege to know God as Father and Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. Thank you Lord! Thank you Lord!
The key about giving thanksgiving, it re-positions one in God's presence therefore beginning the process of breakthrough and Worship.
Psalm 100:4
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name
So the next time we feel sad, broken, lost, begin to count our blessings and you will find you have a lot to give God thanks for
Amen
Here are the words for that wonderful hymnal and a song for you:
Count your blessings
1 When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,Count your many blessings, name them one by one,And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Refrain:Count your blessings, name them one by one;Count your blessings, see what God hath done;Count your blessings, name them one by one;Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.
2 Are you ever burdened with a load of care?Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?Count your many blessings, ev'ry doubt will fly,And you will be singing as the days go by. [Refrain]
3 When you look at others with their lands and gold,Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;Count your many blessings, money cannot buyYour reward in heaven, nor your home on high. [Refrain]
4 So, amid the conflict, whether great or small,Do not be discouraged, God is over all;Count your many blessings, angels will attend,Help and comfort give you to your journey's end
