Do Not Forget His Benefits
One of the least expensive offerings we can present to Jehovah our God, and yet one which he will appreciate very highly, is thanksgiving -- for mercies past and present. The ungrateful are disdained among men, and we may well suppose are far from pleasing in the sight of the Almighty. While every creature throughout the world might find some cause for thankfulness and gratitude and praise, how much more should we who have received so abundantly of the riches of divine grace in the knowledge of his truth as found in Christ and God's plan for man's redemption. We may well, to whatever extent that God has permitted us to understand divine truths, apply to ourselves the words of our dear savior, "blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear. For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and didn't see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them." -- Matthew 13:16,17.
