For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened ~ Romans 1:21
You know God? Yeah that is not all there is. We are called to glorify Him as God, and give thanks to Him.
An ungrateful person thinks futile thoughts, thinking them to be worthwhile thoughts. Their hearts are darkened.
All because of ungratefulness. If you would stay away from anyone, stay away from an ungrateful lest their futile thoughts and darkened hearts corrupt you.
You can tell the state of your walk with God by how thankful you are. If there is no expression of gratitude towards God, you are walking in futility with a darkened heart though you might know God.
Its funny that people look at the walk in the flesh to determine their walk with God when all the while it is a gradual process that started with an ungrateful heart. Something as simple as being thankful begins to look trivial to you, almost as if its a waste of time
Otherwise, if you are praising God with your spirit, how can someone without the gift say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying? For you are certainly giving thanks well, but the other person is not strengthened ~ 1 Cor 14:16-17
The best way to give thanks is to pray in tongues. Indeed speaking in tongues is giving thanks well. Your mind is unproductive when you speak in tongues but that is when you give thanks well. This means that you don't have to know why when you give thanks.
Paul calls speaking in in tongues THANKSGIVING. Keep this in mind when He tells that Thessalonians that they should give thanks always 
. The Apostle of Grace also lets us know that speaking in tongues is strengthening. Thanksgiving strengthens you.
. The Apostle of Grace also lets us know that speaking in tongues is strengthening. Thanksgiving strengthens you.
If you put Romans 1:21 and 1 Cor 14:16-17 together you get the understanding that the one who does not give thanks(certainly also does not speak in tongues also) has a futile mind because He does not participate in an activity in which His mind is unproductive
We need to participate in the activity of speaking in tongues(giving THANKS) where our minds are unproductive in other that we will not walk with futile thoughts(unproductive thoughts) and darkened hearts.
There you go ladies and gentleman, when next the MoG says give thanks to God remember that speaking in tongues is the best way to do it. How i got here I have no idea but the point of this thread was initially to show that THANKSGIVING preserves your heart and mind from FUTILITY
I LOVE YOU ALL
