What does the Bible say about being Thankful?

 

Thanksgiving is a day to be with family and friends, and
share a meal.

But what does the Bible say?
All through the Bible, we see examples of how the role of
thankfulness has on a Christians life.

Here are some Bible Verses about Thankfulness:

Psalm 95:2-3: 

Let us come before His presence with Thanksgiving, and make a 
joyful noise unto him with Psalms. For the Lord is a great God,

and a great King above.

Psalm 136:1: O give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good; His mercy 
endureth forever. O give thanks unto the God of gods; for His mercy
endureth forever. 

Philippians 4:6-7: Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer

and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to

God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will
guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 

Colossians 2:6-7: As you therefore have received Christ Jesus
the Lord so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in
the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In
every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus
concerning you.
