The Sacrifice of Praise and Thanksgiving

Fellow Labourers-

"We bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. And we offer up the sacrifice of thanksgiving---."This chorus suggests that the sacrifices were not in the house but are brought to the house. The sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving are as a result of our experiences in our daily lives. We chose to be thankful and to praise our God in spite of what we may be going through. The Bible calls us to remember because if we cannot recall we may very well not offer the sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Today may not seem like a good day, but when I think of the goodness of Jesus and all he has done for me---.

Let us to choose to make praise and thanksgiving a part of our daily routine. To be alive, and to be up and about we ought to be thankful. It is out of this thankfulness that our greatest praise comes. Praise is comely for the upright. Praise waited for thee O God." Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honor all the day." Psalm 71:8." Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. Thou hadst caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place. I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: and I will pay thee my vows, Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. Psalm 67:11-14.
