A grateful heart is a blessed heart. We live in a world where people love to complain and most of the time, they complain without seeing what they are blessed with. They complain about their jobs, but they have a job. They complain about their houses, but they have a roof over their heads. They want another car, but they can drive to work. They complain about their weight, but they are able to walk. How often do we miss what we have and what God has blessed us with. How often do we not see the little things that brought us where we are. I love this in Psalm 50: “Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God”. It is in our humility and with grateful hearts that we can step into God’s presence and worship Him for His grace and mercy. Psalm 50 says “Our God approaches, and he is not silent. Fire devours everything in his way, and a great storm rages around him”. This is the God we serve. Not a small God but one who can devour everything in His way and yet He loves each one of us that His thoughts about us are like the sand on the earth. So much so that He gave His son to die for our faults. How much more grateful should we be. Here are a few scriptures to align our minds and thoughts.
I will give thanks to you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds (Psalm 91).
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you (1 Thessalonians 5).
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever (Psalm 107).
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God (Philippians 4). A
nd whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him (Colossians 3).
Have an awesome day, my friend.
