1 Chronicles 16:35
Cry out, “Save us, God our Savior;
gather us and deliver us from the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name,
and glory in your praise.”
“Thank you” seems to have disappeared from our world. The “Me” generation has taken over simple etiquette. Everyone feels entitled to whatever they want and doesn’t take a moment to thank the one who provided it. Seriously, I would love to stand in a drive-thru or checkout lane and count how many “thank you’s” the cashier gets.
I find this very sad. I was raised saying please and thank you. Heck, I even find myself telling Siri, “Thank you”. . . LOL! It is so easy to say. What I wonder is when was the last time you said it to the One who does give you everything?
When Jesus taught us how to pray, He began it with praise. It is easy to get caught up in your needs list when you pray. It is also easy to forget to say thank you. I know I am guilty. My life gets so busy and I forget or take for granted all the little things in a day. I have even felt like one of the healed lepers. I run to tell people what God has done, but I forget to run back and tell Him, “Thank you!”
I challenge you to tell everyone, “Thank you” today. Also, make sure you spread some of those thank you’s on God. After all, He is the One that truly gives you everything!
Lord, I am so sorry, I don’t always thank you. You have been so generous to me. I truly can’t thank you enough.
