Thanksgiving in Prayers Daniel: When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his room toward Jerusalem) and he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before. (Daniel 6:10) Paul: I always thank my God concerning you (I Cor 1:4) The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. (Luke 18:11) (5) Zhong-Li Christian Bible Church https://www.aizhu.com/zcbc
Lack of Thankfulness has Consequences Because, knowing God, they didn t glorify him as God, neither gave thanks (Romans 1:21) But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil. (Luke 6:35) (6) Zhong-Li Christian Bible Church https://www.aizhu.com/zcbc
For what should I be thankful? Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good; for his loving kindness endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods; for his loving kindness endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord of lords; for his loving kindness endures forever: (7) Zhong-Li Christian Bible Church https://www.aizhu.com/zcbc
