Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. (1 Chron 16:34)Now, hang on a minute. I seem to see a trend here. In fact, I seem to see a lot of this "give thanks" stuff in the Bible. Why?
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thess 5:18)
Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. (Col 3:17)
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. (James 1:17)
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. (Php 4:6)
Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! (Psa 100:4)
Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! (Psa 106:1)
Here's a great reason:
You were dead in your sins and trespasses ... But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. (Eph 2:1-9)You come up with some more. It's a good day for it.
