“and did offer sacrifice… and they gave
thanks…”
-(7/8/95) One quality that is common
to all great people –the very quality that makes them great- is their
disposition to give prompt thanks to God.
This indicates not only their gratitude for His prospering hand, but
equally important is their recognition of their own reliance on Him for
survival and all that they might receive.
-notice
at what time they gave thanks… what was the order of events:
1.
sons return
2. Sariah corrects her attitude, “cleanses the
inner vessel”, testifies of the truth
3. offers thanks
4. examine the object of their thanks à
the brass plates.
Before
they even began to focus on the brass plates they stopped for a few moments and
acknowledged God’s hand in their situation.
We often eventually come to say “thank you” as an after thought more
than anything.
