Gratitude Toward God (5 of 6)
Series: Isaiah
Stephen Whitney
Isaiah 38:15-16
Gratitude is an attitude of thankfulness toward the person who blessed us by doing us a favor or something we could not do. We should be grateful to God for all of his blessings to us. We can never thank him enough for all he has done for us.
Psalm 103:1-4 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases . . . who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy.
In 2007 Rarthna Reth, a refugee from Cambodia20 years earlier, returned to West Linn (Oregon) Lutheran Church, whose members provided, housing, jobs, food, tutoring, and household good to him and 12 other family members.

Hezekiah had the same gratitude to God when he was healed of his infection and promised he would live another 15 years. Overwhelmed by God's goodness to him he expresses his thanks
in words which he wrote down as a lasting thanks to God.

I find it quite impossible for my tongue to utter what is in my heart. But even though I cannot as I would (should), I shall praise you, Lord, as I am able and as much as you have given me the grace to do so.''
He himself has done it - God made me a promise to heal me and he has kept his promise because he is faithful to his word.He did just what he said h ...
