Thanksgiving! Psalm 100 says to “enter God’s gates with thanksgiving,” and numerous Psalms are an expression of thanks to God. Psalm 65 is a thanksgiving psalm, depicting the joy of coming into God’s temple with an appreciation for God’s blessings. Colossians likewise urges us to “be thankful.” Thankfulness makes us aware of our blessings, but most of all raises our hearts to the Source of blessing. Authentic worship is always marked with a spirit of thankfulness.
