Give thanks in everything ,for this is God's will for you in Jesus Christ(1 Thessalonians 5:18)
Do you feel blessed by God? Each one of us are blessed, more than we deserve. Sometimes when we are experiencing some difficulties in our lives, we may hesitate the truth that we are blessed. The most prevalent sin today, is the sin of ingratitude. Open your eyes and see your blessings even when our lives are chaotic and messy. God has granted us the gift of life and forgiveness of sins. The lives of our loved ones are also blessing from heavenly father. When we exercise thankfulness, we can get rid of our bad personality flaws and misplaced traditions that conflict with Scripture.
For children of God, thankfulness is not confined to a season or a day, it is an attitude that we should have everyday and every hour. We have a lot to thankful for. Sometimes, we get into the habit of focusing on what we don't have. Praise the God Almighty always and learn to enjoy even the insignificant blessings of your lives. All of us have simple, beautiful things that Almighty God has given us, which we can appreciate. Gratitude helps the flow of even more blessings in our life. The way to enhance our lives and relationships is to have an attitude of gratitude. We start with how we honor and respond to our Lord and Savior.
Beware of neglecting thanksgiving to God. In Jeremiah we see God’s warning of his judgment on his people. At the root of all their sin was a failure to acknowledge God and give him thanks. God had given them so much, yet they failed to acknowledge him or thank him for it. Therefore, he says, ‘What I have given them will be taken away from them’. Begin with acknowledging small wonders of the life. Job (5:9) says "He does great and unsearchable things, wonders without number". All praise be to God of all blessing.
