Through David’s Thanksgiving, we see what gratitude looks like and sounds like and how it moves, and we see how God uses it, channels it, and encourages it. We see how God looks into a heart swollen with gratitude and breathes possibility and opportunity and growth. We see David’s Thanksgiving in both 2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles. It is repeated. It is emphasized. It’s echoed, because it is essential.
