What if you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday? That’s a great question and a great thought. But what if it were true? What kind of things would you have in your life today? You get to choose by the way you give thanks. There is always something to be thankful for. Always remember that. No matter how difficult things may be. No matter how challenging life becomes, there is always something to be thankful for. You just have to program your way of thinking to be thankful. Will there be reasons to complain or reasons to be upset or angry? Sure. But if you give voice to the negative things in your life, you will give life to them. Whatever you give voice to, is what you give life to. You have to be intentional about being thankful. It is oftentimes more difficult to find things to be thankful for than it is to complain. But if you set your mind to it, you can develop the attitude of gratitude.
Ephesians 1:15-16 says, “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.”
The word of the day is Give Thanks. I give thanks for you.
