In everything give thanks for this is Gods will for you in Christ Jesus
1 Thessalonians 5:18
In life,we feel very disappointed when the very people whom we have help in one way or the other fail to show us gratitude.We classify these people as ungrateful and call them all sorts of names forgetting that we are also culprits.
God in His infinite mercies has blessed us with many benefits in life.Some of which are;life,devine health, peace,security,provisions and the likes.How many times have we given the Almighty God the thanks He deserves.we don’t seem value these priceless blessings from God. As a result, we deprive ourselves of joy and satisfaction but rather embrace worries and anxieties.The question is,do you have an attitude of gratitude?
Of all the greatmen God used in the bible,David was the only man God described as a man after His heart.David discovered the key to true Joy and that’s thanksgiving. He was always blessing the name of the Lord.
I will bless the Lord at all times and His praise shall continually dwell in my mouth… Psalm34
The statement he made,makes us aware of the fact that whether things are going the way he expect or not,he made up his mind to bless and exhort God’s holy name.No matter what you are going through, He is with you. That’s why David said;yea thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me.Quit complaining and murmuring about your situation. Just show an attitude of gratitude to the most high God and leave Him to do His own thing.
One can show gratitude to God through;
*Praise and worship
*Offerings and
*Honoring of vows
