Text: 1Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV)
Give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Psalm 100:4-5 - Enter his gates
with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his
name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness
continues through all generations
Friends, it is exciting to walk into the last
day of the month of October with a posture of gratitude in our hearts. Yes, we have
to recount His goodness in our lives both the big and the small. It is
important we choose gratitude
over grumbling by keeping gratitude journals. Our hearts must be full of
thanksgiving for the journey so far, as we declare the goodness of God in the
land of living. Psalm 107:1 Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures
forever. Let’s choose to be thankful in all
circumstances as we focus on God’s good things in life and express gratitude to
God and to others. Gratitude is a gift, and we will use it to bless others and
glorify God today as to purchase the other expected desires. Hence, gratitude
reminds us that what we have is enough when God is our source. So, as we shift
our eyes from what is missing we can boldly say a big THANK YOU, today. Philippians 4:6: Do not be anxious about anything, but in
every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your
requests to God.
Amazingly, we can learn to shift from complaints to contentment, and from worry to
worship. Gratitude opens our eyes to God’s faithfulness and helps us see His
hand in every situation. Remember, you can turn every season into a reason to
praise God. Colossians 3:17: And whatever you
do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving
thanks to God the Father through him. It is
a choice, an act of worship, and a spiritual gift that transforms the heart. I
encourage us to invite joy and peace with a grateful heart which quiets anxiety
and strengthens trust in God today in Jesus name.
PRAYER POINT:
Heavenly Father, we have come
to thank you for all the past, present and unseen blessings as to build
confidence in the future promises as our heart overflow with
thanksgiving
in Jesus name.
ACTION
QUOTE: Remember, we can create an atmosphere of
joy and praise with the gift of gratitude.
