OH THAT MEN WOULD PRAISE THE LORD !
By John S. Torell 

24 November 2002
There is nothing tangible that men can give to God. First of all, God is a Spirit and must be worshiped in spirit and in truth - John 4:23-24

Secondly, God owns the whole universe.  It is his property so how can we give him something that he already owns? The only thing that we humans can give God is praise and being thankful for his great love and mercy toward us! Very few believers in Christ take the time to say thanks! Luke 17:11-19

Unthankfulness is a sin and God does not look lightly at it: Romans 1:18-25

Being unthankful is a characteristic of the Devil and a sign of the end times!  2 Timothy 3:1-7

Let us set aside a few moments and give our heavenly Father thanks: PSALM 107

Verses 1- 2 - Let the redeemed of the Lord say so . . . .

Verses 3-9 - Let us thank God for our salvation . . . . 

Verses 10-16 - Let us thank God for having forgiven us for our rebellion . . . .

Verses 17-22 - Let us thank God for saving us from destruction and healing us . . . .

Verses 23-32 - Let us thank God for saving us from daily disasters . . . .

Verses 33-38 - Let us thank God for our daily bread . . . .

Verses 39-43 - Let us thank God for taking care of the oppressor and lifting up the poor.

NOW, LET HIS PEOPLE BEGIN TO PRAISE AND THANK HIM!
