Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.

“You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?” declares the Lord Almighty. “Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with your own house.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.

And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

But I, with shouts of grateful praise, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord.’

Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”

I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.

You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
