THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THANKING AND PRAISING

SUNDAY INSPIRATION

To thank the Lord is to thank Him for the things that He’s done for us and provided for us... We should be thankful people...because.. being thankful saves us from being bitter and ungrateful. It changes our perspective about our trials in life.

1 Thess 5: 18 In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

We have so much to thank Him for because He’s done so much for us.

Praising the Lord, on the other hand, is even higher and more meaningful than thanking Him.

When we praise the Lord, we praise Him for who He is and what He’s done apart from what He’s done for us.

Praising the Lord is very good and very important for us to do. It allows us to get out of our situation and to forget about ourselves. We can forget about any problems and any woes we may have.

No matter what we’re experiencing or what we’re going through, God is worthy to be praised. Even if the outlook is bleak, you can take time to praise the Lord. In doing so, you’ll get out of your situation, and see Christ as the wonderful One that He is.

Realize that even though many situations in 2020 have not been so good. I encourage you to forget your problems at least long enough to praise the Lord for who He is. You’ll be lifted out of your situation and into His victory.

Whether you’re going through a difficult time or not, take time to thank and praise the Lord...because it will help you see the Lord for who He really is. It will help you forget about yourself, and look unto Jesus who is the Author and Perfecter of your faith

Oh Lord! Teach us how to thank You and praise You so that we can experience You in a deeper and richer way!

Psalm 100 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.

2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
