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 Thou hast turned my mourning into ioy: thou hast loosed my sacke and girded mee with gladnesse. 12 Therefore shall my tongue praise thee and not cease: O Lord my God, I will giue thankes vnto thee for euer.
30 I will praise the Name of God with a song, and magnifie him with thankesgiuing.
4 Enter into his gates with prayse, and into his courts with reioycing: prayse him and blesse his Name.
4 But let all those that seeke thee, be ioyfull and glad in thee, and let all that loue thy saluation, say alwaies, God be praised.
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 all thinges giue thankes: for this is the will of God in Christ Iesus toward you.
4 For euery creature of God is good, and nothing ought to be refused, if it be receiued with thankesgiuing. 5 For it is sanctified by the worde of God, and prayer.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which ye are called in one body, and be ye thankfull.
9 But I will sacrifice vnto thee with the voice of thankesgiuing, and will pay that that I haue vowed: saluation is of the Lord.
