Greetings:
Many times we are selfish with God and fail to take time to just thank him for blessings.
On our worst day, we still have plenty of reasons to offer up thanksgiving to God.
Our morning routine ought to be to open our eyes with the new dawn and shout thanks to God for granting us another day of life on this earth. If we are thankful, we don't have time to get weighed down the troubles of the world. God has all of those things under control.
Look at what God's Word says about being thankful.
In 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (The Amplified Bible) we read: “Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will].”
Thankfulness is a sign of a changed life.
Even in simple things we should be thankful. We should not reserve our praise to God for only the big things in life. Recognize that God is the giver of all good gifts in our lives, great or small.
A thankful heart can change the whole way we view life. It is a flood-gate opener to blessings, joy peace and all sorts of goodness. With thankful hearts, we can even touch the very heart of God, and King David even told us that when we approach God, enter into His gates with thankful hearts!
Psalm 100:4-5 (The Amplified Bible) reads: “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so to Him, bless and affectionately praise His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting, His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations.”
On this day, thank God for what his son Jesus did on the cross for each of us. Healing, prosperity, joy, peace, and deliverance are all parts of what Jesus accomplished for us.
If we find no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies with us.
Be blessed.
