• We need to be thankful in all circumstances.
• Be thankful and praise God every day, not just on Sunday.
• To be thankful, look inside and meditate on what God has done in your life.
• Sometimes if we get all up in the air about stuff, if we just let go and let God, He’ll work it out
“We judge things by how many times we miss it; God sees the fact that we are almost home.”
— Pastor Danny
• When we are thankful, the situation may not change but we change in the situation.
Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
— 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NLT
• Faith appropriates what God has already done.
“The greatest praise I have ever experienced is when I began to look inside and see what God has already done for me.”
— Pastor Danny
Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
— Psalm 100:1-2 NKJV
• Thankfulness is what causes us to praise God.
• If you focus on what is not right and what is not happening, that will follow you.
Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
— Psalm 100:3 NKJV
“Show me a thankful person, I’ll show you a person living in victory. Show me a murmurer and complainer, I’ll show you a person living in defeat.”
— Pastor Danny
• How do I hear God’s voice? Grab a Bible and start reading. Don’t stop until you get your answer
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
— Psalm 100:4 NKJV
• If we are God’s sheep, he will take care of us. God will never leave us or forsake us.
• His grace is not about what we do, it is about what He did.
For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.
— Psalm 100:5 NKJV
• God loves you, and there is nothing you can do to change that.
• How do we receive God’s faithfulness? God is faithful, nothing we can do about that. However, to receive and fully understand it, the best thing we can do is to become faithful.
• When we are faithful over what God puts in our hands, we see God as faithful.
• Give thanks to the Lord in everything, not for everything.
