May all who come to you be glad and joyful. May all who are thankful for your salvation always say, “How great is God!” Psalm 70:4 (GNT)
Being thankful is declaration and affirmation that something good has been done for us, or something good has been given to us.We have been given so great a Salvation – Hebrews 2:3. Jesus has taken away and freed us from the bondage and burden of sin with all its consequences of condemnation, the curse, sickness, poverty, all oppression, death and hell. He has then brought us into the very life, freedom, rest, and wholeness of God Himself. Knowing, believing and experiencing all this is what leads us to being glad and thankful.See what the Lord has done in saving you. Be thankful. Acknowledge and declare how the Lord God is great.
