Continously Thankful
It’s amazing how much things I have to deal with on this temporary place called earth. The people, the conflicts, the heartaches, the disappointments, the hardship, etc. I don’t think I can ever do this without God’s help – every day, every hour, every minute.
What benefits the attitude of gratitude bring for me?
- Keeps me in God’s will.
- Makes me better, not bitter.
- Defeats the devil!
- Causes miracles.
Having faith in God, it means I have to thank Him in advance. I have to thank Him all the time, even when it seems like it’s hopeless. Even when I don’t feel like it. Faith keeps me going. Faith gives me hope.
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Colossians 2:6-7
