       Regardless, if we take the thankfulness approach to this verse, that is an interesting approach to our worship to God on Sunday mornings, and one that we may not have thought about too much. That, when we worship, that we are coming before God with a thankful heart, an attitude of thankfulness, thinking of all the ways God helped us through the week, on a small picture, and then on a big picture, all the ways God has been gracious to us in helping us with whatever it has been. This remembrance of help from God stirs in our hearts an attitude of worship toward him. It brings to mind the good things he has done for us, making things different from what they could have been, and even from the way that our enemy wanted them to be. So this adds a special layer to our worship to God, a special pair of eyeglasses, and makes it more aware, more precise in its direction, more intentional in its focus. A thankful heart to God. Recalling what God has done for us, and, of course, remembering his great gift for us.
