Thanks so much

I heard someone say this week 'What you give thanks to God for,  increases' , which got me thinking.

It occurred to me that when Jesus was given the little boy's packed lunch (which was all they had available at the time) He prayed over it GIVING THANKS to His Father and yes, it was multiplied greatly so it fed thousands and thousands of very hungry people.  

Phillipians 4 v 6 says to ask God for your requests WITH THANKSGIVING.

1 Thessalonians 5 v 18 says to GIVE THANKS in everything and goes on to add that this is God's will for us in Christ Jesus.   So no matter what the circumstance let's give the Lord thanks for something good in our lives.  Thank Him for the health we have got, for the finances we do have, etc. and thank Him for all His goodness and kindness to us in the past.

The Psalmist is always saying to come into the Lord's presence with thanksgiving.  Thanking God can never be hard or difficult when He has done so much for us.

Thanks for listening :)!
