In Scripture, we see “thanks,” as a word and as a concept, take on various forms. In the Old Testament, it is more often translated as “praise.” Whether in the Old or New Testament, we see the words:
Thanks.
Gratitude.
Praise.
Grateful.
Appreciation.
And we see these words in the contexts of a
Psalm.
Offering.
Prayer.
Song.
In his book, Five Love Languages, Gary Chapman highlights that there are multiple ways to express and receive love. Similarly, thanksgiving can take on various forms:
A verbal expression of gratitude.
An attitude of appreciation.
A sacrificial gift.
Time spent together.
Service with a smile.
A hug or high-five.
Today, I encourage you to give an offering of praise in song to our Heavenly Father. And choose a creative way to express your thanks to someone in your life—a person with whom you haven’t expressed your gratitude recently.
