Speaking. Declaring. Proclaiming. Writing. Singing. Creating. Sharing. Shouting. Listening and responding in love. One of the best ways to stir up God in the middle of our daily whirlwind of activity is to bring our best thoughts from and about Him and express them in the best language to the sweetest sounds. God is faithful. God is good. God is holy. God is gracious. God is powerful. God knows. God is active. We recall all of these characteristics, and more, by speaking. And, when we speak, we give thanks!
This 4-week series is centered on the reason we give thanks. Healthy Homes Built on Grace and Truth want to recognize God’s gifts and say “Thank you.”. It’s much more than simply good manners to say “Thank you.” God actually inhabits the praise of His people. When we activate our “thanksgiving” by remembering, speaking, acknowledging, and witnessing God actually works to encourage us. Each of these actions encourages us to keep living closer to God.
