Psalm 92:1-5--It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp. For you make me glad by your deeds, O LORD ; I sing for joy at the works of your hands. How great are your works, O LORD , how profound your thoughts!
Leviticus 22--The offer of sacrifice of thanksgiving was important. This kept their attention on the Creator, their guide, their deliverer, their provider.

Psalm 50:23--He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way
so that I may show him the salvation of God.

It's good to give thanks is good because 1) it honors Him; 2) it's an act of obedience; 3) it refocuses our attention; 4) it releases us from anxiety; 5) it refreshes our relationship with Him
