GIVE THANKS

Tobit 12:6-7 (not in the Protestant Bible)

Then Raphael secretly called the two of them, and said to them, “Bless God and give Him thanks. Ascribe greatness to Him and give thanks in the presence of all the living for what He has done for you. It is good to bless God and to exalt His name. Make known the words of God’s works honorably and do not delay to give thanks to Him. It is noble to keep hidden the secret of a king, but glorious to unveil the works of God. Do good, and evil will not find you.”

Personal Challenge

The book of Tobit, an Old Testament apocryphal book, provides a very special story about how God works in the lives of those who not only put their trust in Him, but also live their lives according to His principles and precepts. In the end, Tobit and his son, Tobias, are reminded to bless God and give Him thanks in all aspects of their lives. The works of men, whether kings or presidents, mean nothing with respect to mankind and eternity, for it is the works of God alone that counts. Glory be to God!
