Thank God for Preserving you

Thanksgiving 4.5 | KJV

I must give thanks for my preservation; that my life is prolonged, and the use of my reason and understanding, my limbs and senses, are continued to me.

It was owing to thy good providence that I died not from the womb, and did not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly; that the knees prevented me, and the breasts that I should suck. Job 3:11-12(KJV)

Though I was called a transgressor from the womb, Isaiah 48:8(KJV) yet by thy power I have been borne from the belly and carried from the womb; Isaiah 46:3(KJV) and thou holdest my soul in life and sufferest not my foot to be moved. Psalm 66:9(KJV)

All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like unto thee! Psalm 35:10(KJV) for thou keepest the bones, and not one of them is broken. Psalm 34:20(KJV)

I lay me down and sleep, for thou, Lord, makest me to dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8(KJV)

Thou hast given thine angels a charge concerning me, to keep me in all my ways; to bear me up in their hands, lest I dash my foot against a stone. Psalm 91:11-12(KJV) And they are all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for the good of them that shall be heirs of salvation. Hebrews 1:14(KJV)

Thank God for Making you in His Image

Thanksgiving 4.4 | KJV

2dly, With reference to myself in particular.

I must give thanks that he has made me a reasonable creature, capable of knowing, loving, serving, and enjoying him, and that he hath not made me like the beasts that perish.

I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and that my soul, my nobler part, knows right well; Psalm 139:14(KJV) for no man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him. 1 Corinthians 2:11(KJV)

Thou hast made me of that rank of beings which is a little lower than the angels and is crowned with glory and honour; Psalm 8:5(KJV) for there is a spirit in man, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding, Job 32:8(KJV) and the spirit of a man is the candle of the Lord. Proverbs 20:27(KJV)

My body is capable of being the temple of the Holy Ghost, 1 Corinthians 6:19(KJV) and my soul of having the Spirit of God dwell in it; 1 Corinthians 3:16(KJV) I therefore glorify thee with my body and with my spirit, which are both thine. 1 Corinthians 6:20(KJV)

Thou, Lord, hast formed me for thyself, that I might shew forth thy praise. Isaiah 43:21(KJV)

Thank God for the Many Instances of His Goodness and Kind Providence (continued)

Thanksgiving 4.3 | KJV

The heaven, even the heavens, are thine: but the earth thou hast given to the children of men; Psalm 115:16(KJV) and thou hast put all things under their feet, and made them to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Psalm 8:6(KJV) so that the fear of man and the dread of man is upon every beast of the earth and upon the fowl of the air, and into his hand they are delivered; Genesis 9:2(KJV) because thou hadst a favour to him, and thy delights were with the sons of men. Proverbs 8:31(KJV)

Thou causest the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that thou mayest bring forth food out of the earth; wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengthens man’s heart. Psalm 104:14-15(KJV)

Thou givest to all life and breath and all things; Acts 17:25(KJV) and the earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy. Psalm 119:64(KJV)

All the creatures wait upon thee, that thou mayest give them their meat in due season; that thou givest them, they gather; thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good; Psalm 104:27-28(KJV) thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; thou renewest the face of the earth. This thy glory shall endure for ever, and thou rejoicest in these works. Psalm 104:30-31(KJV)

It is through thy goodness, O Lord, that as one generation of mankind passeth away, another generation comes; Ecclesiastes 1:4(KJV) and that thou hast not blotted out the name of that corrupt and guilty race from under heaven. Deuteronomy 29:20(KJV)
