Give Thanks

Give Thanks

If we ask God for a calm, thankful heart that sees all the blessings His grace imparts, He can teach us many lessons in illness that can never be learned in health.

David Jeremiah

Begin each day with thanksgiving on your lips. Physical and emotional pain distract you from concentrating on My goodness and mercy. The enemy taunts, “A good God would never allow you to suffer such pain.” But Satan is defeated when you choose a heart of gratitude. Thankfulness in the middle of difficulty is a sacrifice that pleases Me.

Gratitude is the key that will turn your outlook around. Giving thanks defeats the enemy and changes your attitude from despair to hope. The recipe is in My Word: “Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). Discover the power of a thankful heart.

It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to the Most High. It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening.

Psalm 92:1-2
