We thank God with our lips and our tongues. We thank Him in our hearts and with our mouths. Through song and dance, with timbrel and trumpet. But do we thank Him with our lives?
I passed a church marquee the other day that said- do others see Jesus in you? We have all seen the bracelets or heard the phrase- What Would Jesus Do? They are all reminders that we should be striving to live in a way that is pleasing in Gods sight. That we are a living testimony to the greatness of God and that we are witnesses on this earth (...in Judea, Jerusalem, Samaria and even to the end of the earth, Acts 1:8).
But do we thank Him with our lives?
I wrote in a previous blog about the purpose of our lives being to praise and worship Him, to glorify Him in everything that we do so that others will see that it is not us, but only God that prospers and guides our lives. Do we not only speak to Him thanks, but do we show Him thanks in how we speak to others? Do we praise Him with our hands, and then not extend a hand to help someone? Do we go to church every Sunday, but forget to be the church everyday? Do we read His word to in our personal devotion time- spending time with Him, but not to our children, the elderly, our spouses or best friends?
How incredible would it be to live a life of thanksgiving? To let God see that you are full of thanks by the your conduct and your character.
