Thanksgiving #3 - The Ties Between Thanks & Faith

As I was studying in Psalm 95, a psalm of celebration & thanksgiving, I came across a couple of references to a couple of key points in Israel's history - (found in Exodus 17:1-7, & Numbers 13 & 14). Each of these episodes details specific instances where Israel complained against God & doubted His care & provision for them. Most pointedly, on the brink of entering the Promised Land, the majority of the people refused to step into their promised inheritance because of doubt & fear. The more I looked at Psalm 95, I found a link between giving thanks & being thankful & having faith. The message from 11/21/2010 explores this in more detail.
