Happy New of December
Text: 1
Thessalonians 5:18(KJV)
In everything
give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you
Friends, you
are welcome to the month of December. It is a journey we must spend some time
to reflect on God’s faithfulness. So, to deepen your gratitude
means going beyond surface level of thank you but developing a heart that is
intentional and specific with details as to notice values, and appreciate God,
people, and moments both big and small. Psalm
136:1- O give thanks unto the Lord; for
He is good: for His mercy endureth for ever. Hence, it lives you with a
mood that recreates an exciting atmosphere that builds joyfulness in place of
sadness. It softens your heart and recreate a better and more relaxed spiritual
environment for productivity. It requires a daily discipline as it becomes a
lifestyle. Gratitude lifts your spirit, clears your mind, and strengthens your
relationship with God. It is one of the fastest ways to invite divine presence
into your day. Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and
supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Amazingly, as we thank God we recognize the good
in our lives whether visible or invisible.
Unfortunately, many people thank God only when something big happens. But,
God calls us to give thanks in everything, both the pleasant, the clear and the
confusing situations. Psalm 103:1–2 - Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless
His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.
So, gratitude becomes deeper when it is no longer based on happenings but on
God’s unchanging nature. It is an attitude that shift our focus from what is
missing to what is present. Yes, from what you lost to what you still have, and
from fear to faith. Let’s switch to a life of gratitude and we shall see the
unanswered expectations become a tangible reality this season, in Jesus name.
PRAYER POINT:
Oh Lord, open my eyes to see Your blessings clearly, as you deliver my
heart from complaining, comparison, and forgetfulness in Jesus name
ACTION QUOTE: Remember, to
choose gratitude and refuse to complain, today.
