Thanksgiving Should be
Volitional
Leviticus 22:29, “And when ye will offer a sacrifice of
thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own will.”
Ratsown
(7522) translated “ means one’s delight, desire, favor, or pleasure. Today is the day set aside in the US to give
thanks to God for His bountiful mercies and blessings to mankind. We all acknowledge that God knows everything
past , present and even the future. So,
when a Christian musics praise and thanksgiving to God, our heavenly Father
knows whether we mean it or not. This
Scripture states very clearly that thank offerings must be free-will
offerings. Volitional thanksgiving means
that this act is the result of a Christian making a conscious choice or
decision.
On this day which has been designated
a day of thanksgiving, we should offer sacrifices of thanksgiving. We should make these sacrifices of
thanksgiving genuine worship acts that are our response to the goodness and
mercy of our loving Savior. Christian
musicians should not render these musical offerings as
acts of obligation but rather acts of our love responses to our loving
forgiving God.
