I am glad to be back in the paddock where we can begin our sixth season of the Free Range Preacher on Prayer, and we do so appropriately with a few episodes of gratitude. Our call to be a thankful family is a universal call. Today, we look at the Biblical mandate to be thankful: "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened." Romans 1:18-21 (God's wrath is at least partly because His creation is not thankful or even acknowledging Him.) "Rejoice always; 17 pray without ceasing; 18 in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (We are called to gratitude in "everything" as it is His will for us in Christ.) "O LORD, Thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. 4 Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones, And give thanks to His holy name. 11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness; 12 That my soul may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to Thee forever." Psalm 30:3-4 and 11-12 (We are saved from the pit, even for eternity, and He turns all our sorrows into gladness so that our souls cannot be silent but always shouting our recognition of His mercies.) "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."
