Thankful

 

Thankful

Psalm 100, I Thessalonians 5:18, Hebrews 13:15

“Know that the Lord, He is God, it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.” “Enter into His gates with Thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good, His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.” Psalm 100:3-5

“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” I Thessalonians 5:18

“Therefore, by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name.” Hebrews 13:15

Optimistic, positive people tend to have a thankful heart.

Pessimistic, negative people tend to complain about everything.

When God is in our life, our thankful heart can’t help but praise Him, but how can we praise Him if our mind is full of pessimistic, negative thoughts.

If we take a moment to consider all that God has done for us, we will find that there is much more to be thankful for than there are to complain about.

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy – think on these things.” Philippians 4:8

Please read the scriptures listed, study them, apply them to your life and grow in the saving relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior.
