  25. Remembering God’s Works on Israel’s Behalf • vv9-15: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob • vv16-24: Joseph and the Sojourn in Egypt • vv25-36: Moses and the Ten Plagues of Egypt • vv37-45: Exodus from Egypt and Conquest of Canaan

  26. Thanksgiving and History • The Biblical pattern of “thanksgiving” is a present relationship of faith and love for God based on what He has done in the past. • Thanksgiving in the Bible is the praise you offer to God for His works on your behalf. • Every believer has infinite cause for a life characterized by praise to God in gratitude for His saving Work at Calvary. • The focus is always the God who has done the works. • The works always reveal the PERSON and CHARACTER of the worker. • History is set before man for him to recognize God’s great works of deliverance in love and righteousness so that man may worship. • All pursuits in life, including the study of history or nature (science) are designed by God to worship Him because they show us Who He is.
