Title: Are There Benefits to Being Thankful?
Text:
James 1:17 (HCSB)
17 Every generous act and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights; with Him there is no variation or shadow cast by turning.
Observation:
I have learned over the course of my life that everything belongs to God, and that everything I am and have is a gift from God.
God is so good to us, and we do ourselves a favor by being grateful to Him. God didn't command us to give thanks because He needed it; it was because we needed it. When God gives us something, and we are thankful; we are the recipients of a double blessing. Try being thankful and see how it is a blessing that returns rich dividends.
So, today, I give thanks to God for all of His blessings. Thankful people are blessed and happy people. This is one way you can do God's will every day.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (HCSB)
18 Give thanks in everything, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
Prayer:
Father God, I rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy because of Your grace and generosity. Lord, thank you for blessing us every day; over and over You keep blessing me in spite of me. Father, give us hearts of unceasing gratitude. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Song: Every Day is Thanksgiving
