Thanksgiving Sacrifice
Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High, and call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.
Psalm 50:14-15
The Bible reminds us of why it is important to be thankful. A spirit of thankfulness changes our attitude toward everything. It demonstrates that we recognize all God has done for us. We are thankful for how He has transformed our lives. We are thankful for His Word and His Spirit. We are thankful for salvation and eternal life. We are thankful for the joy of knowing Him and His peace.
If we want to be victorious, we need to be thankful in all circumstances. Thankfulness is an important way we honor and praise Him. This shows that we don’t take Him for granted, and we appreciate all He has done. When we offer thanks, we prepare our hearts to receive more blessings.
The sacrifices of thanksgiving are even more impactful. Instead of just being thankful and enjoying the blessings and pleasures ourselves, when we choose to give up for the blessing of others, it honors God. We could focus on our pleasures and ourselves. Instead, we choose to give up something to honor God. This kind of sacrifice shows that we value Him and place Him first in our lives and when we offer thanksgiving offering, the Word of God says that He will hear our prayers and deliver us.
Think of all the reasons for being thankful to God. Allow your heart to be filled with thanks. Thank Him with your voice. Be willing to offer sacrifices to Him. Do something that costs you something. Do it joyfully. Willingly. And demonstrate your thankfulness by dedicating your time, talents, and treasures to Him.
