Gratitude And The Glory Of God

Gratitude And The Glory Of God

In Psalm 69, David gives us an important truth regarding gratitude. He writes, “I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving” (Psalm 69:30, NIV). Did you catch that last part? The renowned King and Psalmist of Israel tells us that when we give thanks to God, we also give Him glory. It’s common to think of glorifying God by means of worship, song, sacrifice and obedience—and those are important. Here we see that it can also be as simple as saying thank you. How often have we missed an opportunity to give glory to the Lord because we were ungrateful for one of His many blessings? Let’s give God all the glory by continuing to grow in being thankful. Now that’s something to pray about!
