Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. — 1 Chronicles 16:8 KJV
Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done. — 1 Chronicles 16:8 NIV
Bible Verse Reflection
Giving thanks goes beyond being grateful to God. It is also telling others about His goodness and mercy so that they too may become aware of God as Father, Redeemer, and the Lord of Victory.
And then, others can join in with our own to sing a song of praise from the heart of that God’s love has saved.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, bless all those serving you in challenging areas today. I am grateful for all missionaries who are in different cultures who are sharing the grace of Jesus with those who want to know Him in their lives. Invigorate their words, safeguard their families and lives and shower their efforts.
Help me realize that true gratitude is sharing your love with other people. I pray this in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
