Our Thank You Card to Heaven
Isaiah 12:5 NIV
"Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world."
So, yesterday we established that big or small, the Lord does great things. But how do we show our appreciation for these great things? You see, this might come off as a bit of a trick question because, unlike a thank you note or a sweet gift basket to a friend, we cannot simply send God a thank you card or a gift basket and call it even. It doesn't work that way. The things God gives us are things we will never be able to repay. Take the breath in your lungs each morning for example. How the heck would you repay someone for giving you the gift of life each day? You simply can't. You would almost have to owe that person your whole life. However, that's just it. That right there is how we can offer our thanks to God for the great things He's done for us. By devoting our lives to Christ (repenting of our sins and following in His ways) and singing praises to Him for the wonderful things He has done for us, we can send up our thanks to Him. And the best part is that, though we are unworthy of His gifts, He continues to love us greatly and accepts our thanks anyways.
