In I Chronicles 16, David and his people are singing praises to God in the Tabernacle.
I think God likes it when we praise Him and say "thanks".......
another benefit is that we feel better and our attitude becomes more positive:
 
Verse 8 - 13:
 
"Oh, give thanks to the Lord and pray to Him," they sang.
"Tell the peoples of the world
About His might doings.
 
Sing to him; yes, sing His praises
And tell of His marvelous works.
 
Glory in His name;
Let all rejoice who seek the Lord.
Seek the Lord; yes, His strength
And seek His face untiringly.
 
O descendants of His servant Abraham,
O chosen sons of Jacob,
Remember His mighty miracles
And His marvelous miracles
And His authority:
 
He is the Lord our God!
His authority is seen throughout the earth."
 
Commentary:
 
"Does it ever seem that a simple "thank you" to God is not enough to express your appreciation? 
Four elements of true thanksgiving are found in this song:
 
1) remembering what God has done;
2) telling others about it;
3) showing God's glory to others;
4) offering gifts of self, time, and resources.
 
Get into the habit of fully expressing your thanks to God."
