Message: Todah is Hebrew for "Thanks". In the early days. singers and songs were offered in thanksgiving to God. Breaking down the word Todah into it's meaning results in the phrase, "the true doorway into the presence of God". It's thanksgiving that leads into intimacy with God. It is an act of worship and adoration, an offering of praise for the goodness and sacrifice of God. Giving thanks, something happens, we fix our eyes on Jesus, our attitude changes and blessings find us. Giving cheerfully, some happens, there is an increasing, a generosity that wells up acknowledging God as sustainer. A grateful heart gives intimate praise, is content, trusts and has peace when the storms of life subside. Why give thanks? It's God's will. In Christ Jesus we know who we are and whose we are. We belong to the High King who knows the plans for our life, which is to be a living example of His goodness and grace as we abide in Him. A mindset on giving thanks allows all other things to get replaced. We are no longer focused on sin, but persuaded in joy to express the action of thanksgiving.
Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18 "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." - NKJV
