Title: Thank God always.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise: Be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

Psalm 100:4 KJV

Devotion: The Lord God inhabits our praises and He, God created us to praise Him and thank Him for creating us, for his goodness, love and kindness. In Hebrews 13:15 the Bible says "By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name."

 Let us emulate the disciples of Christ (and we are His disciples) as we read in Luke 19:37  "And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;" 

 It is very good to start our days with thankfulness for the past day, to show appreciation for the expected future and to thank God for Jesus Christ our Saviour and Hope for tomorrow.

 When you come before God, come with Thanksgiving for answered prayers especially those prayers that seems God has not answered. Yes, those prayer points just give thanks on it and you'll receive your answers within the shortest time. 

 Dearly beloved, let us cultivate the habit of Thanksgiving, even to fellow human beings, when you give thanks for past deeds you are most likely to receive another from the same person. Don't go to God with complaints only, go with Thanksgiving and be blessed. Your testimony is near, hallelujah.
