We often find ourselves regretting where
we are in life. This sends us on a spiraling
journey downward as we begin complaining
and nourishing fear which is the enemy of
faith. One key area in living a prosperous
life is having an attitude of gratitude.
Let's take a look further into the
definition of gratitude. Gratitude-State
of being grateful. Grateful-Thankful
or appreciative.
Having an attitude of gratitude will
provide the following benefits, not
necessarily in the order written.
Provides clear vision. Allows free course for Father
God to reward you.
Stops the cancer of murmuring and complaining in it's Tracks.
Ignites the fire for an atmosphere of praise. An attitude
of gratitude will render an altitude of Good
success.
You can take time to think of a few more.
The word tells us in I Thess 5:18 to give thanks
in everything.
Give thanks for your temple. God's gift to us
is life what we do with it is our gift to Him.
This is not speaking of being thankful that you
had an accident, being thankful that you lost
your job, being thankful that your children don't
have clothes or food to eat. No! It is speaking of
an attitude of thankfulness, gratitude and thereby praise.
Let's put it this way, it may seem that you've
lost more than you imagined that you would at this
time, however, an attitude of gratitude would be
thankful that you didn't lose it all.
Thanks in the greek means; eucharisteo (Yoo-khar-is-the'-o)
to be grateful, (act) to express gratitude (towards) .
Live long and prosper with an attitude of gratitude.
Your attitude determines your altitude.
In everything give thanks, for this is the will
of God in Christ for you. I Thessalonians 5:18
Do not get tired of doing what is good. Don't get
discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest
of blessing at the appropriate time.
--Galatians 6:9
-------------------------------------------
Not what we say about our blessings, but how we
use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.
