*GIVE THANKS WITH A GRATEFUL HEART*
_TEXT_
*"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise be thankful unto Him, and bless his name"* _(Psalms 100:4)._
_COMMENTARY_
The attitude of gratitude is a confirmation of worship.
Thanksgiving is the platform for praise and worship. Being thankful means you are grateful to God for even the tiniest things in your life and take nothing for granted; you do not take the fact that you are living in good health and not on the hospital bed for granted. Therefore, a life of ingratitude, grumbling, and murmuring is a lifestyle that is contrary to worship.
You will never see the result of worship in your life if you are unthankful. For thanksgiving and worship to be used, it has to find expression in your voice.
Worship, especially in the midst of conflict, is your expression of faith. When you are in the midst of battle and the devil expects you to be lamenting and crying, sing and instead of mourning, dance. The reason why you are singing and dancing is because you believe His Word that says, '... Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning' (Ps.30:5). Anywhere God sees faith, He moves into action. For without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6).
So, praise God, especially when in the midst of battles, conflicts, and situations you do not understand.
When your worship finds expression, through your faith, it will move God into action.
