One aspect of thanksgiving in the Bible is to give thanks to the Lord to tell others what He has done for us. Let them hear how He's working in your life. Let them know what He has done for you lately. Doing so accomplishes a few things:
- God is glorified in front of others, including those who may not know Him yet.
- Christians are encouraged, perhaps in a hard time.
- Our own hearts are encouraged as we rehearse, outloud, what HE has done for us. That's one of the main reasons why I keep a blessing notebook, to record the blessings Christ sends my way, so that when I am feeling down, I can look to Him and remember His goodness to us.
Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
(1 Chronicles 16:8)
O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
(Psalm 105:1)
