The Goodnews - His Thanksgiving - Luke Edition 2024

Greetings, this is day 17 out of 24 of reading the Bible with Darren!

HIS THANKSGIVING;

Luke 17:11-19

We can live continually in God’s presence by developing a life of thanksgiving. We are grateful to God as He blesses us with His miraculous provision, and we express our gratitude and love in worship.

Worship is giving thanks.

Worship is about thanking someone after you’ve received something. It’s showing your gratitude and love. True, genuine love is always expressed. Perhaps you did not always see this in your family growing up, but you are in a new family now—the body of Christ. You have a good Father, and you can express your love to Him because you have received something good from Him.

Miracles precede gratitude.

If you had a disease and Jesus healed you, would it be appropriate to express your thanks? Of course, it would be! Well, if you’re a believer, God has healed you from the worst disease—sin! Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” Salvation is a miracle, and it is definitely okay to express your gratitude to God through worship.

Obedience precedes miracles.

Miracles are not earned, but the Bible shows us an unmistakable pattern of obedience leading to miracles. Is it possible that we don’t feel as though we have anything to be grateful for because we’re not walking in daily obedience to God? If we obey, we’ll experience miracles, and when we experience miracles, we’ll be grateful and express our love to God through worship.
