Tell of all Your Wonderful Deeds

So this post is a little late due to the craziness of spending Thanksgiving with my family. It was a lot of fun but meant that I got a little behind on pretty much everything. Hopefully I'll get all caught up soon though.
This is the last of my thankfulness posts for November. I hope you've enjoyed studying these verses on thankfulness as much as I have and just remember if you ever want to look them up you can use the same resource I do!

Psalm 9:1
"I will give to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds."

I know I like to talk about the things going wrong in my life a little too much, when I've had a bad day I tell people but how often do we tell people when God is doing good things in our life? We may tell our Christian friends about those big answers to prayer but do we really "tell of all your wonderful deeds"? Maybe it's time to start.


Psalm 35:18
"I will give thanks to you in the great assembly; among the throngs I will praise you."

It's so easy to walk into church and be quiet or just want to worship silently and there's nothing wrong with that except when we're quenching the Holy Spirit because we're afraid of making a scene.


2 Corinthians 8:16
"Thanks be to God, who put into the heart of Titus the same concern I have for you"

Now granted I'm not looking at the context of this verse so I don't what concern Paul and Titus had for the people of Corinth but just look at it for a second. Done? Okay. Paul thanked God that Titus shared his concern. How often do we think, "Oh that's a cool coincidence" but never stop to credit God?
So many times I've called friends out of the blue only to realize it was right when they needed to have someone check in on them. That's not a coincidence friends, it's God. Take time to see Him working in your lives and thank Him for those things, big and small.


Revelation 11:17
"We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign."

This is actually a prophesy for the end times but it has an important reminder in it. God is and was and will always be, He has great power and He is reigning. Whatever's going on in your life remember that He's still in control.
