Praise and Thanks

It is impossible to praise or thank Me too much. As it is written, I inhabit the praises of My people. Sometimes your adoration is a spontaneous overflow of Joy, in response to radiant beauty or rich blessings. At other times your praise is more disciplined and measured—an act of your will. I dwell equally in both types of praise. Thankfulness, also, is a royal road to draw near Me. A thankful heart has plenty of room for Me.

When you thank Me for the many pleasures I provide, you affirm that I am God, from whom all blessings flow. When adversity strikes and you thank Me anyway, your trust in My sovereignty is a showpiece in invisible realms. Fill up the spare moments of your life with praise and thanksgiving. This joyous discipline will help you live in the intimacy of My Presence.

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. —Psalm 22:3

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. —Psalm 146:1–2

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. —1 Thessalonians 5:18

Praise God from who all blessings flow, praise Him all creatures here below.
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host, praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Praise The Lord, O my soul, O my soul, worship His holy name. Sing like never before O my soul, worship His holy name.

I am sure you have heard of both the songs above. We are told by the bible, by worship and by God Himself, to worship and praise Him and to give Him thanks. Without Him, there would be no "us". We should praise and thank Him in all circumstances, because He has given us all that we have. Not only does it bring us closer to Him, but it brings us happiness and joy, for we have an abundant life, because of our God.
