An expression of gratitude is a way of honoring another person. The Bible says that you also honor God when you express gratitude to him. God says this in Psalm 50: “Giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly honors me” (Psalm 50:23 NLT). When you thank God for who he is, your prayer might go something like this: “God, thank you that your wisdom is greater than mine. Thank you that you’re consistent when I’m inconsistent. Thank you, God, for who you are.” And it’s the kind of gratitude that honors God and gives you deeper spiritual roots.
