Thank God for Sweet Communion with Him in Holy Ordinances

Thanksgiving 4.38 | ESV

For sweet communion with God in holy ordinances, and the communications of his favor.

I have feasted on the abundance of your house, and you have given me drink from the river of your delights: for with you is the fountain of life; in your light do I see light. Psalm 36:8-9(ESV)

You have brought me to your holy mountain, and made me joyful in your house of prayer; Isaiah 56:7(ESV) and I have found for me it is good to be near God. Psalm 73:28(ESV)

I have reason to say that a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere, and that it is better to be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness; for the LORD God is a sun and shield; he bestows favor and honor, and no good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly: O LORD of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you! Psalm 84:10-12(ESV)

I have sat down under your shadow with delight, and your fruit has been sweet to my taste; you have brought me to the banqueting house, and your banner over me has been love. Song of Solomon 2:3-4(ESV)

Thank God for the Powerful Influences of Divine Grace

Thanksgiving 4.37 | ESV

For the powerful influences of divine grace to sanctify and preserve us, to prevent our falling into sin, and to strengthen us in doing our duty.

You have not put out the smoldering wick, nor broken off the battered reed, Matthew 12:20(NASB) nor despised the day of small things; Zechariah 4:10(NASB) but having obtained help from God, I stand to this day. Acts 26:22(NASB)

On the day I called, You answered me; and have made me bold with strength in my soul. Psalm 138:3(NASB)

I have been continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand, Psalm 73:23(NASB) when my feet came close to stumbling, and my steps had almost slipped. Psalm 73:2(NASB)

I have reason never to forget Your precepts, for by them You have revived me; and if Your law had not been my delight, then I would have perished in my affliction many a time; Psalm 119:92-93(NASB) for Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. Psalm 119:54(NASB)

If the Lord had not been my help, my soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence: But when I said, “My foot has slipped,” Your lovingkindness, O LORD, held me up; and when my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul. Psalm 94:17-19(NASB)

Unless the Lord had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death: But when I said, “My foot is slipping,” your love, O LORD, supported me; and when anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul. Psalm 94:17-19(NIV)
