Thank God for Preserving you

Thanksgiving 4.5 | NASB

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 Your good providence that I did not die at birth, and did not come forth from the womb and expire; that the knees received me, and the breasts, that I should suck. Job 3:11-12(NASB)

Though I have been called a rebel from birth, Isaiah 48:8(NASB) yet by Your power I have been borne by You from birth and carried from the womb; Isaiah 46:3(NASB) and You keep me in life and do not allow my feet to slip. Psalm 66:9(NASB)

All my bones will say, “LORD, who is like You!” Psalm 35:10(NASB) For You keep the bones, and not one of them is broken. Psalm 34:20(NASB)

I lay down and sleep, for You, LORD, make me to dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8(NASB)

You have given Your angels a charge concerning me, to guard me in all my ways; to bear me up in their hands, that I do not strike my foot against a stone. Psalm 91:11-12(NASB) And they are all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the good of those who will inherit salvation. Hebrews 1:14(NASB)

Thank God for Making you in His Image

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 has not made me like the beasts that perish.

I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and that my soul, my nobler part, knows very well; Psalm 139:14(NASB) for no man knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him. 1 Corinthians 2:11(NASB)

You have made me of that rank of beings which is a little lower than God and is crowned with glory and majesty; Psalm 8:5(NASB) for there is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding; Job 32:8(NASB) and the spirit of a man is the lamp of the LORD. Proverbs 20:27(NASB)

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

You, Lord, have formed me for Yourself, that I might declare Your praise. Isaiah 43:21(NASB)

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

Thanksgiving 4.3 | NASB

The heavens are Your heavens, O LORD, but the earth You have given to the sons of men; Psalm 115:16(NASB) and You have put all things under their feet, and made them to rule over the works of Your hands; Psalm 8:6(NASB) so that the fear of man and the terror of man is on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the sky, and into his hand they are given; Genesis 9:2(NASB) because You had a favor to him and had Your delight in the sons of men. Proverbs 8:31(NASB)

You cause the grass to grow for the cattle, and vegetation for the labor of man, so that You may bring forth food from the earth, and wine which makes man’s heart glad, so that he may make his face to glisten with oil, and food which sustains his heart. Psalm 104:14-15(NASB)

You give to all life and breath and all things; Acts 17:25(NASB) and the earth is full of Your lovingkindess, O LORD. Psalm 119:64(NASB)

All the creatures wait for You to give them their food in due season. You give to them, they gather it up; You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good. Psalm 104:27-28(NASB) You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; and You renew the face of the ground. This Your glory shall endure forever, and You rejoice in these works. Psalm 104:30-31(NASB)

It is through Your goodness, O Lord, that as one generation of mankind goes, another generation comes; Ecclesiastes 1:4(NASB) and that You have not blotted out the name of that corrupt and guilty race from under heaven. Deuteronomy 29:20(NASB)
