Verses in KJV Related to Thanksgiving and Praise
There are no specific Bible verses in the King James Version (KJV) that directly mention Thanksgiving, as Thanksgiving is a holiday rooted in American history and culture, while the KJV Bible was compiled in early 17th century England and does not include specific references to Thanksgiving.However,there are many verses in the Bible that speak about thanksgiving and praising God, which can be relevant and guiding during the Thanksgiving season. Here are some verses related to giving thanks and praise:
Psalm 100:4:"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name."
Colossians 3:17:"And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him."
1 Corinthians 15:57:"But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord."
These verses encourage believers to continually give thanks in all circumstances and to offer praise and gratitude to God. While they may not specifically mention Thanksgiving, they can serve as a source of reflection and thanksgiving during the holiday.
