An excerpt from “Compelling Truth.org” entitled, “What Is A Biblical View Of Thankfulness/Gratitude?” states: “The Bible has much to say about thankfulness. In fact, giving thanks to God is of such fundamental importance that the Bible mentions the failure to do so as part of the basis for God's judgment against mankind (Romans 1:21). First Thessalonians 5:16–18 says, "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." Clearly thankfulness should be characteristic of Christians.” The article may be viewed at: https://www.compellingtruth.org/Bible-thankfulness-gratitude.html [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Ephesians 5:4]
Application: “Thanksgiving—the giving of thanks—to God for all His blessings should be one of the most distinctive marks of the believer in Jesus Christ. We must not allow a spirit of ingratitude to harden our heart and chill our relationship with God and with others.” [Source: https://billygraham.org/story/how-to-be-thankful-in-all-things ]
