1 Chronicles 29:13 - "Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name." - This verse comes AFTER the children of Israel gave to the work of the Lord. God had supplied through His children and as a result He was praised. It amazes me the attitude people have after willingky giving to God and His service. They are so thankful. Thanksgiving comes many times after you have given to the Lord. Go, Give.
