Giving Thanks (2)




Daily Devotions For The Deaf show

Summary: Yesterday we started talking about giving thanks to God. Our question today is: When should we give thanks to God?<br> The Bible clearly answers that question in Ephesians 5:20. This verse says, <em>“Always give thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”</em> It is easy to think about giving thanks at only one time of the year. But God does not give us His blessings only one day a year. He blesses us every day! Often, though, we fail to give thanks to God.<br> The Bible gives us many examples of when to give thanks. Verse 2 of our Bible Reading tells us we can give thanks in the morning and at night. In John 6:11, we read that Jesus thanked God for food. We can thank God for food every time we eat. In Philippians 4:6, Paul reminds us to give thanks when we pray.<br> I hope that you are thankful and that you will take time today to thank God for His many blessings.
