Scripture:
Psalm 50:23 – The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!
Observation:
By giving thanks and being grateful to God brings Him glory. Follow God’s path and he will reveal His salvation.
Application:
Every day I must be thankful for everything that God has provided for myself and my family. Most importantly I must recognize and be grateful for the grace he has given me through the substitutionary death of Jesus to save me. When we give thanks to God, this gives the glory to Him and points others towards Him. As one who is grateful for my salvation and in response to that, I need to walk along God’s path for my life. Apart from Christ, I am nothing and only one wrong turn from slipping off God’s path. Therefore, I need to submit and make a conscious decision daily to be in the word, in prayer and follow the Spirit’s prompting in my life.
Prayer:
Father,
Thank you for your grace and mercy. Let me be someone who recognizes this and gives you thanks to bring you glory and honor.
