Many gifts were given and received during Christmas. The response given by those receiving those gifts was some form of gratitude—a hug, a kiss and of course a bunch of “thank yous”.
It is good to let others know how much we appreciate their kindness toward us. Don’t you love it when someone lets you know that they have been blessed by you . You love being around people like that, don’t you
Who has given you the biggest, most wonderful, and the best gift you have ever been given? Did you say God? I hope you did because that is the right answer. How should we respond when God has given us something? How can we adequately say thank you to God? How can we be sure God hears us when we do say, “Thank you God.” Where is God anyway? You may think this is a dumb question, but the Bible tell us where God lives. We don’t have to look too far to find God. If we lift our voices to God in thanksgiving and praise we can be sure to know his presence.
Psalm 22:3 says, “God inhabits the praises of his people.” God lives in the praises of those who praise him. If you are praising Him, he lives at your address. We know God is everywhere. There is no place you and I can go that God is not already there. We honor God when we ask him to help us in various ways. But it really pleases God when we praise him and thank him. That is where his habitation is. God loves to be with his children. He likes to hear us when we thank him, and when we tell him that we love him. God is very pleased when we worship him as our Lord, our King, our Savior and our Father.
If we belong to God we should remember to praise him and thank him throughout the day. It will make a big difference in our walk through this life.
