One of the regrets we will have in Heaven, is the lack of praise we give to our Heavenly Father.
FoundInHim, thank you for reminding us to give God praise.

"It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord…” (Psalm 92:1)
WHAT should we thank God for, and HOW should we praise Him?
"Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness."
"Praise the LORD! Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? Who can declare all His praise?" Psalm 106:1-2
"I will praise God's name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving." Psalm 69:30
The Bible provides a record of many people thanking the Lord…
* King Solomon expressed gratitude for Divine faithfulness and goodness - 1 Kings 8:14-21
* Thanking God for food - Deuteronomy 8:10, John 6:11
* King David thanked God after winning a battle - 2 Samuel 22:1-51, Psalm 98:1
* …and many others
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Phil. 4:6
"As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving." Colossians 2:6-7 (NKJV)
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NKJV)
"Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name." Psalm 100:4
People were rebuked for not thanking God for their harvest, see Jeremiah 5:24-25
If people withheld their praise to God, the stones would have cried out. See Luke 19:37-40

~To Him That is able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy...to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.~ Jude 24
