As God's children we fix our thoughts upon the goodness of God and offer up our gratitude to Him for who He is and for all He has done for us through Christ Jesus. Thus we Look away from all that will distract to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith, giving the first incentive for our belief? and is also its Finisher, bringing it to maturity and perfection;Rembering He, for the joy of obtaining the prize that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Ps. 110:1, Hebrews 12:2 Therefore Give Thanks and Praise to Him this Holiday seasons and every day for ALL Jesus has done for you.Giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified and made us fit to share the portion which is the inheritance of the saints (God's holy people) in the Light. The Father has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, In Whom we have our redemption through His blood, which means the forgiveness of our sins. Colossians 1:12-14 Through Christ, therefore, let us constantly and at all times offer up to God a thanksgiving and praise, which is the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and Glorify His name. Lev. 7:12; Isa. 57:19; Hos. 14:2, Hebrews 13:15 David did this in a prayer of praise thanking the LORD in Psalms 103 First with individual and personal praise (1-6),The Psalm also admonishes us not to forget the blessings after we have received and to Enjoy them. sometimes it is referred to as David’s “Hallelujah Chorus.” Halleluyah actually consists of two Hebrew words: hallelu, meaning praise (a plural imperative) and Yah (shortened form of Yahweh, the personal name for God and often written as LORD).This is a Reflective Psalm of grateful for ALL God has done for you.

We have a talk with our own soul worship of God. We remind ourselves, as we praise the Lord, of all that God has done, and instructing our own soul to: 1. Appreciation - our soul to BLESS the LORD. Bless – means to delight His heart by expressing love and gratitude for all He is and all He does. He is pleased when you simply Thank and Love Him, without asking for anything. True praise comes from a grateful heart that sincerely wants to glorify and please the LORD. Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Psalms 103:1 2.
