There is a good chance you have never heard of these two men; they\u2019re among the Bible\u2019s more inconspicuous characters. In the wonderful worship choirs of King David, they were appointed to give thanks. Heman and Jeduthun were under the king\u2019s authority (see 1\u00a0Chronicles\u00a025:6). It was literally their job. <\/p>\n
And it\u2019s your<\/i> job too! You\u2019re under the authority of the King of Kings who commands you to \u2018be thankful\u2019<\/i> (Colossians\u00a03:15\u00a0NIV), \u2018offer to God thanksgiving\u2019<\/i> (Psalm\u00a050:14\u00a0NKJV), \u2018come before His presence with thanksgiving\u2019<\/i> (Psalm\u00a095:2\u00a0NKJV), \u2018enter into His gates with thanksgiving\u2019<\/i> (Psalm\u00a0100:4\u00a0NKJV), and \u2018in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.\u2019<\/i> (1\u00a0Thessalonians\u00a05:18\u00a0NKJV) <\/p>\n
\u2018We worship God by means of His Spirit and rejoice in our life in union with Christ Jesus. We do not put any trust in external ceremonies.\u2019<\/i> (Philippians\u00a03:3\u00a0GNT) Instead we rely on what Jesus has done for us and are intensely grateful to Him. Have you ever been so moved that you sprang into spontaneous worship? Nothing is more thrilling. You will never know what you\u2019re missing if you don\u2019t praise your Creator with your every fibre. Sing, lift up your hands, cry out, laugh, whatever\u2026 if you do it in a spirit of praise, thanksgiving, and gratefulness, God will love it. Plus, thanksgiving leads to better physical, emotional, and mental health. The Creator of your soul is a master psychologist. He knows that thanksgiving is not only appropriate but therapeutic. It\u2019s hard to be thankful and at the same time be grumpy, critical, or ill tempered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
