Choose Gratitude to God.
We are in the tenth month
in this great and amazing year of our LORD!
It is true that the year has been full of ups and downs, highs and lows,
victories and defeats, good and bad and finally beautiful and the ugly.
We may not be totally
happy and excited about the states of our lives but we need to remain grateful
to God for our journeys so far because many that we started this journey
together are dead, buried and already forgotten.
There are many reasons to
thank God daily and there are many reasons for gratitude to the living God. If
for any reason you still do not believe in the existence of the living God I really
cannot help you here. This article is
been written for those that believe greatly in the existence of the living God
and in His continued goodness upon their lives.
I know that God does not
always answer all our prayers but the truth is that he hears all of them but
chooses which ones to answer per time because he is God and because he knows
that there are some prayers that we pray that is not really good for our
overall wellbeing.
Now let us think about the
goodness of God in our lives today. Let us think about the very fact that we
are still alive and well. Let us consider the state of our health. Are you
healthy? Are you well? Are you sane and in your right mind? If the answers to
all of these questions are yes then you have a million and one reasons to be
thankful and grateful to the living God for his benevolent grace upon your
life.
Are you successful at your
work, business and vocation? Do you have a means of livelihood? If the answer
to this question is yes then you have all the reasons in the world to be
grateful to the living God for his goodness and favour upon your life.
Do you have a family of loved
ones that you can call your own? Everyone does and so everyone ought to be
grateful and thankful for this great blessing upon our lives. The only people
who can say no to this question remain people in war torn areas in the world.
Do you have a place to
live that is comfortable and affordable? If your answer is yes then you need to
offer a sacrifice of praise to the living God for this great goodness in your
life because many people are homeless, jobless and hopeless in the world of
today.
Do not wait until you
become rich, wealthy, and powerful before you show God some measure of
thanksgiving and gratitude. Start today to show gratitude for all of your
blessings and benefits because God daily loads us with his benefits.
The truth is that the more
grateful we are the better we are positioned to receive more blessings from
God. Let us choose to count our blessings on a daily basis this week and offer
God the necessary praise, thanksgiving and worship that is due to his holy
name.
Be thankful, be praiseful
and be grateful going forward to the living God!
