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\Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.12 \30:11\Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
30 \69:29\But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful to him, and bless his name.
4 \70:3\Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
Gratidão constante

9 \2:8\They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
