"DON'T WAIT UNTIL THANKSGIVING TO THANK HIM!"

Read: 1 Chronicles 16:7-36 “O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever” (1 Chronicles 16:34 AMP) We often think of Gratitude in terms of Gain: Someone gives you a ride to work. A neighbor cooks a meal when you’ve had surgery. Your boss notices your hard work and gives you a raise. The kids clean up the house or your husband cooks dinner. For…

When Gratitude Isn't Easy

Our dear friend, Zig Ziglar, said this famous quote: “Your gratitude attitude determines your life altitude”. And it is true. How many times have I caught myself in stinkin’ thinkin’ about something I wanted and couldn’t have or something I didn’t want but had it? I sincerely desire to be a 24/7 optimistic woman who always errs on the side of gratitude! But sometimes gratitude isn’t so easy to…

Pain is No Picnic. But, Is it Possible We Couldn't Grow Without It?

Pain is a bad thing. It certainly isn’t something we enjoy or want to experience; but, is it always bad? What can it possibly be Good For? Jesus offers us some insight: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine dresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he taketh away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit. (John 15:1-2 KJV) We often…

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Ever look back at life, admiring it’s beauty? Memories in the past can look perfect. Our brains usually remember only the good. In fact, often we glorify it. Our memories can even become glamorized to the point of embellishment. At least they do when you compare yourself to…

Being Thankful Even if it Hurts

Yesterday, I welcomed this week of Thanksgiving. One day isn’t enough for us to express our gratitude for God’s goodness and mercy for so many blessings. But Thanksgiving isn’t always a joyous and thankful time for everyone.I know that some people are hurting so much and being thankful is hard to come by.  I’ve been there in a wallow of self-pity, and I know those feelings. Still, we ALWAYS have…

Psalm 100:1-5 (ESV). “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.”

Thessalonians 5:18 (NASB). “In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.”

Ephesians 4:30 (NKJV). “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.”

Philippians 4:19 (NASB). “And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

“A Heart of Gratitude” By In Touch Ministries:

“We can be thankful because the blessings we have through Jesus far outweigh life's difficulties.”

“The Bible says, “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). That might seem easy when life is going well. But when it’s not, expressing gratitude can be difficult.

It’s interesting to note that this instruction to thank the Lord in all things was written by Paul—the apostle whose loyalty to Christ earned him severe persecution. You might wonder how he was able to be grateful to God. The answer is that Paul knew His riches in Christ far outweighed any earthly discomfort.

Consider the blessings he so valued, which are available to all believers. First, we are invited to have a personal relationship with the one true God. Second, the Father loves us with an everlasting and unconditional love. Third, He sent His Son to die as payment for our sins so we could spend eternity with Him.

And the list of blessings keeps going: God adopts believers as His children and seals them with His Spirit (Ephesians 4:30). He has a plan for each of His followers—and bestows special gifts and empowerment to make it happen. He promises to meet every need through His limitless resources (Philippians 4:19) and provides His Word and indwelling Spirit to guide us.

No wonder Paul was grateful! Count his blessings as your own, and let God know how appreciative you are.”
