11.23.14 - Words Of Thanks - Kendall Franklin We are talking about one of the very best ways we can use words: To say THANKS. It isn’t just about having good manners, being polite, or showing proper etiquette. It’s not just about satisfying a social obligation. It will bless. It will help – not just the person you are thanking, but it will truly bless you! There is a phrase that happens a lot in the psalms and in the Old Testament. It was part of a song – a part of their liturgy. Many of the people said or sang this – and it was something they knew by heart: “Give THANKS to the Lord for he is good; his love endures forever.” Scripture: Luke 17:11-19 NIV He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. Luke 17:16 ACTION STEPS 1. Give THANKS to God Make it a part of your prayers. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Phil. 4:6 Say Thanks on the spot! One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. Luke 17:15 Begin & End your day with Thanks. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his steadfast love endures forever! Psalm 118:1 NRSV Be Creative with your expression of Thanks. Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! Psalm 95:2 NRSV 2. Give THANKS to Others Thank someone from a long time back. I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now...” Phil. 1:3-5 Thank Someone who invested in your life. _______ FOLLOW LIPSapp Classic Radio _______ FB: r-js/1vz7Pcz / TW: r-js/1kHd2Qt / Listen to LIPSapp Classic Radio r-js/1dOIQ18 #classicrock #rollingstones #ledzeppelin #santana #eagles #zztop #thewho #beatles #elvis #jimihendrix #dylan #acdc #michaeljackson #pinkfloyd #madonna #u2
