Why Should I Give Thanks to God?

List by Pastor Ken

Scripture is full of reasons why we should be thankful. Some verses of thanksgiving:

God satisfies my every need

Psalm 107:8-9

Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men! For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.

God made me, and I am His

Psalm 100:3

Know that the LORD, he is God. It is he who has made us, and we are his. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

God's love for me never stops

1 Chronicles 16:34

Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

God freely gives His grace

1 Corinthians 1:4

I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus.

God created everything, and He did it well

1 Timothy 4:4-5

For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving. For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.

God gives wisdom and power

Daniel 2:23

I thank you and praise you, O God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what we desired of you; for you have made known to us the king’s matter.

God is worthy of thanks even when things look bad

When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his room toward Jerusalem) and he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.
