“On that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, “Ask! What shall I give you?” II Chron 1:7 NKJV
When someone says thank you to God, He replies by also saying, Thank you.
In 2 Chronicles 1:6-7, Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings to God to say, Thank You Lord, for making me the king. In return, God visited him at night and said, Ask for whatever you want and I will give it to you.
In Genesis 8:20-22, Noah offered a sacrifice to God in appreciation for sparing his life and those of his family members. God responded by making a promise to never destroy the earth with water again and that seedtime and harvest would never cease.
God always ensures that He is the last to say, Thank you. The bigger the thank you say to Him, the bigger His response of thank you will be.
Wise people go one step further: they thank God for what He is yet to do. You can be sure that His response will be very big.
Father, thank You for all You have done for me and all You will still do for me IJN.
Shalom!
