And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 5:20
We have so much to be thankful for today. And we must give thanks to God for everything. In everything and everyone there is something we can give thanks for.
The Apostle Paul encourages us to be thankful for everything, good and bad. Paul set the greatest example of how to be thankful even when his circumstances were not so favorable. His heart was full of joy and he knew it came from the Lord Jesus Christ.
A heart that is thankful overflows with joy. A heart that is not thankful is full of groaning and grumbling. The difference is in your heart’s condition.
God can make a difference in your life. If you are having a difficult time expressing gratitude just set your mind on praising God for all that He has done for you and you will see a difference. Hopefully you’re already praising and thanking God for who He is and what He has done for you.
Despite all the negative things that have happened in our lives we have so much to be thankful for. We have many people who we should be thankful for. We have many things that we should be thankful for. But most of all we serve a God who deserves our expression and devotion of gratitude.
Thanksgiving is more than just food, family and fellowship, it’s a way of life. Let God fill your heart with joy and let it overflow with praise and thanksgiving.
Pray
Lord, I thank You for everything. I praise You for everything. Most of all I thank You for showing me mercy and grace and giving me eternal life.
