Living your life day by day in the 'JOY' of the LORD!

Hello, my name is Dr. Mark Fielding.  I am glad you are visiting this page on the topic of Old Testament Thanks.  I want to express the need in a Believer's life to give regular thanks to GOD.

Thanksgiving is more than just a Holiday once a year when everyone gathers together and counts their blessings.  Thanksgiving is a lifestyle, a very important and needed one.  Even a young child is taught to say; "Thank you" when people help them or give them something of value.  How much more should the Christian offer GOD the thanks HE so richly deserves!

Below are a few Old Testament Scriptures reflecting the importance of giving thanks where thanks are due, namely our great GOD.

1 Chronicles 16:4
"He appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, to make petition, to give thanks, and to praise the LORD, the GOD of Israel."

1 Chronicles 16:7
"That day David first committed to Asaph and his associates this psalm of thanks to the LORD."

1 Chronicles 16:8
"Give thanks to the LORD, call on HIS Name; make known among the nations what HE has done."

1 Chronicles 16:34
"Give thanks to the LORD, for HE is good; HIS love endures forever."

1 Chronicles 16:35
"Cry out, "Save us, O GOD our SAVIOR; gather us and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to YOUR Holy Name, that we may glory in YOUR praise."

1 Chronicles 29:13
"Now, our GOD, we give you thanks, and praise YOUR glorious Name."

2 Chronicles 7:3
"When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the LORD above the temple, they knelt on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, "HE is good; HIS love endures forever."
