[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 50]] ## Title: Thankfulness Honors the Lord ## Scripture: (Psalm 50:23) “Whoever presents a thank offering honors me. To whoever obeys my commands, I will reveal my power to deliver.”” (NET) ## Observation: I’ll never forget sitting with some friends and inviting them into a rhythm our family enjoys while eating dinner together. We have trained ourselves to go around the table three times and say something for which we are grateful. Instead of doing it three times, we decided to do it once. The results were not so good. Several of the people at the table could not think of one thing to be thankful for and even started feeling uncomfortable. This became a reminder that thankfulness is not easy. Our brains are wired to assess threats and keep us safe. Therefore, to stop and be thankful takes intentionality and practice. We must always remember to slow down for thankfulness. God’s Word says it is a way to honor the Lord. ## Application: Write out three things you are thankful for that have happened within the past week. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for doing more than we realize. We have to pause to truly begin to see all the good things You have done.
