Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

 

This morning I was reminded that it’s important to give thanks for everything we have. When the chips are down and all we can see is the bottom, it’s a good time to start counting our blessings, starting with the solid ground on which we stand and go from there. Family, friends, job, church, the world around us….life….we have so much to be thankful for. When we turn our troubled thoughts to a spirit of thanksgiving, we honor God and abide within His will.

God created this world for our enjoyment. We should honor Him by thanking Him every day. Once this becomes a habit, your outlook on life will be more positive and those “downers” will simply fade off into the background, in the shadows of God’s bigger blessings.

 

Today, take a look at your blessings and thank God for what He has allowed in your life! Your day will get a little brighter! God bless!
