Gratidão ao Senhor
A gratidão ao Senhor é resposta de amor diante da bondade divina. Louvar a Deus com cântico e magnificá-lo com ação de graças — isso é o que agrada ao Senhor.
Agradecer ao Senhor
Deus transformou nosso lamento em dança. Ele é digno de toda gratidão, em todo tempo e em toda circunstância.
11 \30:10\Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper.12 \30:11\By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy;
30 \69:29\But I am poor and full of sorrow; let me be lifted up by your salvation, O Lord.
4 Come into his doors with joy, and into his house with praise; give him honour, blessing his name.
4 \70:3\Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame.
Gratidão constante
Em tudo dai graças. Tudo o que Deus criou é bom, quando recebido com ação de graças e paz no coração.
18 In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you.
4 Because everything which God has made is good, and nothing is evil, if it is taken with praise:5 For it is made holy by the word of God and by prayer.
15 And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times.
9 \2:8\The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.
