Thanksgiving is an attitude and act of faith and faith “pleases God”-{Read Heb 11:6}. So the attack on your faith is to seek to tempt you not to be thankful to God, and therefore you are NOT doing the Will of God.-{1 Thess 5:18}. You are NOT Glorifying God.-{Read Luke 17:11-17} You are NOT Persevering in prayer,-{ Read Col 4:2}. The alternative is to spiritually faint, collapse- {Read Luke 18:1}. You are NOT Pleasing God.- {Heb 11:6}. Others are NOT been encouraged because you do NOT see reasons and share reasons with them of how their life is helping you to Give God thanks for changing lives.-{ Read 1 Thess 1:2-3}.
DO His will, DO Glorify God, to DO Stay alert in Prayer and DO Please Him by faith, offering THANKS for the work of faith evidenced in the lives of others whom He has saved.
Did you know a lack of Thanksgiving to God is a characteristic of a LOST person – “…For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him.”-( Rom 1:21). NOTE- they did not GLORIFY GOD… Not Give THANKS TO GOD!” Refusing To Give Him thanks is to choose not to Glorify God and this was the purpose of your creation to Give Him Glory,”This people whom I created for My Glory.”-{Isaiah 43:7}. Therefore as He said of the one leper whom He healed who returned to GIVE Thanks to Him GLORIFIED GOD!-{Luke 17:11-19}. THANKFULNESS TO GOD is an evidence of belonging to Him and Glorifies Him!
Choose and cultivate Thankfulness lest you be mistaken for a lost person or be proved to be one.
Thanklessness, ungratefulness is a characteristic of the last days when we read, “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.“-{2 Tim 3:1-7}. Look at the company UNGRATEFUL, THANKLESSNESS KEEPS! Lost, self absorbed people, “having a form of godliness but denying its power. ”
The Danger Of Thanklesness is that people don’t see their souls are in spiritual darkness and heading for a Christ-less eternity!
