Revelation 7:9-12 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”
The final use of the word "thanksgiving" in the Bible gives us a clue on where we're heading. We will bow before the Lamb and proclaim, among other things... thanksgiving to our God. It is right in the middle of these 7 characteristics that pertain to God. All of the other 6 are things that are an attribute of God, which He choses to share with His people. The one in the middle is the one that should proceed from us as we respond to Him - Who He is and what He has done. Let us not leave Thanksgiving behind. Rather, let us continue to practice what we one day will do right - Thankgiving!
