Gratitude

Sacrifice of Thanksgiving

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

Psalms 116:17

· · ·

Offering thanksgiving to God is both our sacrifice and our vow of faithful worship.

The psalmist promises to offer the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on God's name. This pairs personal gratitude with public worship, private devotion with corporate declaration. The sacrifice of thanksgiving costs us our pride and self-sufficiency, acknowledging that every good thing comes from God. It's also a vow, a commitment to ongoing gratitude regardless of future circumstances.

Make a vow today to maintain a practice of daily thanksgiving for the next month.

Lord, I offer You the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on Your name. Help me keep my vows of grateful worship all my days. Amen.
