Thank God for Granting you Recovery from Danger

Thanksgiving 4.6 | NASB

For signal recoveries from danger by sickness or otherwise.

When perhaps there has been hardly a step between me and death, 1 Samuel 20:3(NASB) and when I have received a sentence of death within myself, 2 Corinthians 1:9(NASB) and have been ready to say, “In the middle of my life I am to enter the gates of Sheol; I am deprived of the rest of my years”; Isaiah 38:10(NASB) yet You have in love to my soul kept it from the pit of nothingness and cast all my sins behind Your back. Isaiah 38:17(NASB)

When the cords of death have encompassed me and the terrors of Sheol have come upon me, I have called upon the name of the LORD and have found that gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yes, my God is compassionate. I have been brought low, and He has saved me; Psalm 116:3-6(NASB) He has rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling. I will therefore walk before the LORD in the land of the living. Psalm 116:8-9(NASB)

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)
