Remembering What God Has Done

Remembering What God Has Done
Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 NLT
David appointed the Levites to lead the people in worship before the Ark of the Lord – to invoke his blessings, to give thanks, and to praise the Lord, the God of Israel…On that day David gave to Asaph and his fellow Levites this song of thanksgiving to the Lord…
1 Chronicles 16:4, 7 NLT
Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.
Sing to him; yes, sing his praises. Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds.
Exult in his holy name; rejoice, you who worship the Lord.
Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him.
Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given…
He is the Lord our God. His justice is seen throughout the land.
Remember his covenant forever—the commitment he made to a thousand generations.
This is the covenant he made with Abraham…and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant: “I will give you the land of Canaan as your special possession.”
1 Chronicles 16:8-18 NLT
Gratitude is…
1) Remembering what God has done.
2) Remembering what God is doing.
3) Remembering what God is yet to do.
For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord himself. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this in remembrance of me as often as you drink it.” For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord’s death until he comes again.
1 Corinthians 11:23-26 NLT
