Be Grateful

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine… to him be glory… forever and ever! Amen. Eph. 3:20-21 (NIV)

Bible Reading: Psalm 136

Grateful people are great because they achieve great things in life. The attitude of gratitude is a display of humility and acknowledgement. For instance, such people can acknowledge God in all things for they know that all things are from Him, through Him and for Him (Romans 9:33-34). However, ungrateful people complain and grumble through life. Instead of showing gratitude to God for life, they are occupied with the thought of not having one what they want overlooking what God has given them.

Showing gratitude means you are thoughtful and appreciative. Whether in good times or bad times, grateful people have every cause to thank God. God becomes their all in all; and remember God inhabits the praises of His people. Therefore, such people dwell in God’s presence and God in turn lives with them. Regardless of that situation, choose to use the weapon of genuine worship and reverence unto God. Think of the great and mighty things He has done for you in time past, trust Him that He holds your future and that He is able to do more than you can think or request of Him.

In that corner of your heart, on your bed, parlour, room or whether you are driving or walking on the highway, or you are in a plane or seated in your office or there in the market place or you are in a class… whatever you are doing and wherever you are, acknowledge God for everything, see God beyond your problem for He who has began this great thing in you will definitely bring it to a perfect ending (Phil 1:6). Give Him praise and be a grateful being!

Self-Reflection: Think and thank God for His faithfulness.

Daily Confession: God I choose to be grateful; I thank you for all things and in all things.

Intercessory prayer: Teach my family to be grateful

Hymn: All hail the power of Jesus Name

Let angels prostrate fall

Bring forth the royal diadem

And crown Him Lord of lords

Bring forth the royal diadem

And crown Him Lord of lords
