Thought for the Week

Scripture and hymn-writers unite to tell us to give thanks to the Lord. They utilize various words for the thanks part, including praise, worship, exalt and many others. The point being we are to attain and hold a position of giving God the honor that is due to His name. It is not simply saying the words of course, it is also living in a way that brings honor and glory to God. When we are His, we need to reflect a worshipful attitude. So, let us look at some of those words used to encourage us in our walk and way of life: Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. O, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. Praise Him, Praise Him, all you little children. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord. Let all that has breath praise the Lord, Praise ye the Lord. Continue in prayer and watch with thanksgiving. Come ye thankful people come. Then Jesus took bread and gave thanks before them all. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and come into His courts with praise. We give thanks unto the Lord our God. Bless the Lord o my soul and all that is within me, bless His holy name. We bring the sacrifice of praise into the House of the Lord. Give thanks always for all things unto God. You are called into one body and be ye thankful. I thank my God for you always, making mention of you in my prayers. I thank Thee Father, that Thou has heard my prayers. Blessed be Your name o, Lord. I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Sing unto the Lord, bless His holy name. Blessing and honor and glory be unto the Lord our God. Blessed be the Lord, God of my master. May the name of the Lord be praised. Hallelujah, praise Jehovah. I will give thanks to Him in song. I give my God thanks every time I remember you. Praise my soul the King of Heaven. Give thanks to the Lord, call upon Him in truth. By prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let us make our requests to God. Praise God from Whom all blessings flow. My God, I will give you thanks forever. Give thanks to Him and praise His name. Thanks be to God Who giveth us the victory. Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift. Give thanks to Him Who sits upon the throne. He is my God and I will praise Him. To God be The Glory, A Mighty Fortress is our God. Sing Praise to God, sing praises. I will sing praises to God. All glory, laud and honor to Thee Redeemer King. Arise and bless the Lord. Glory be to the Father. Father, we thank Thee for the night. Christ for the world we sing. Let the name of the Lord be praised. O praise the greatness of our God. I will praise You for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I will praise You as long as I live. Praise the Lord in the assembly. I will arise and bless the Lord. Let us be thankful and so bless the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name. You are my God and I will give You praise. Thanks be to God who gives us the victory. Put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Let my mouth be filled with praise. I will praise You yet more and more. Let us be thankful and so worship God. Nehemiah assigned two large choirs to give God praise. Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings God has ordained praise. Sing to God a song of praise. Praise be to the Lord my rock. Praise God for His greatness.
