| Thank You |
| “Thanks be to God” (1 Corinthians 15:57). |
| “Please,” and “Thank you,” are amongst the most common expressions in use. I wonder whether “Please” is heard more often than “Thank you,” at the Throne of Grace. Of course it is not possible to find out the proportion, but could we make a guess that it is about nine to one? |
| I would base this on Luke 17:12-13, where we read of the ten lepers who said, “Please,” but verses 15 and 16 tell of only one who gave “Thanks.” “And one of them…turned back…giving Him thanks.” |
| It is not to be overlooked that Christ asked, “Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?” (Luke 17:17). |
| What will be the proportion of our praise to our prayers today? |
| There are almost as many references to praise as there are to prayer in the Bible. I feel sometimes that there is a greater proportion of prayer to praise in our lives. But let’s learn to follow the exhortation of the hymn — “Praise God from Whom all blessings flow.” |
