An Attitude of Gratitude to God

Luke 17:17-18 (TLB)

{17} Jesus asked, "Did I not heal ten men?

Where {is the gratefulness from} the nine?

Is there only one who gives glory to God?

and he is a stranger?

 

Psa 29:1-2 (KJV)

 A Psalm of David.

Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty,

give unto the LORD glory and strength.

{2} Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name;

worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

Gratitude

 A feeling of thankful appreciation for favors or benefits received.

A warm appreciative response to kindness. Thankfulness. [Webster's Dict]

(Luke 17:11-19 KJV) 

 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

{12} And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

{13} And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

{14} And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests.

 And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

{15} And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back,

 and with a loud voice glorified God,

 {16} And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks:

 and he was a Samaritan.

{17} And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed?

but where are the nine?

{18} There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

{19} And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

Psa 106:6-15 (KJV)

We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

{7} Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt;

they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies;

but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.

 {8} Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake,

 that he might make his mighty power to be known.

{9} He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up:

so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

{10} And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them,

and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

 {11} And the waters covered their enemies:

there was not one of them left.

{12} Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

{13} They soon forgat his works;

 they waited not for his counsel:

{14} But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,

and tempted God in the desert.

{15} And he gave them their request;

but sent leanness into their soul.

 

Psa 100 (KJV)  

A Psalm of praise.

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

{2} Serve the LORD with gladness:

come before his presence with singing.

 

 {3} Know ye that the LORD he is God:

it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;

we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

 

{4} Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,

and into his courts with praise:

be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

 {5} For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting;

 and his truth endureth to all generations.

Rom 1:17-25 (KJV)

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith:

as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

{18} For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven

against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,

who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

{19} Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;

for God hath showed it unto them.

 

{20} For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world

are clearly seen,

 being understood by the things that are made,

even his eternal power and Godhead;

so that they are without excuse:

{21} Because that, when they knew God,

they glorified him not as God,

neither were thankful;

but became vain in their imaginations,

and their foolish heart was darkened.

{22} Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

 {23} And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God

into an image made like to corruptible man,

and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

 

 {24} Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness

through the lusts of their own hearts,

to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

{25} Who changed the truth of God into a lie,

and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator,

 who is blessed for ever. Amen.

(Col 3:12-17 KJV) 

 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved,

 bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

{13} Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another,

 if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

{14} And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

 {15} And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body;

 and be ye thankful.

{16} Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;

 teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,

 singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

{17} And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,

giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

 

Rev 7:9-12 (KJV) 

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number,

of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues,

stood before the throne, and before the Lamb,

clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

(10) And cried with a loud voice, saying,

Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

(11) And all the angels stood round about the throne,

and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

 (12) Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving,

and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
