For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
(Ps. 84:11)
If you want to experience no good thing being withheld, then you have got to stop complaining and start thanking God for what He’s already done in your life. How could any child of God possibly think that they are going to receive God’s best in their life when they are constantly complaining?
Complaining is just really a bad habit, that’s all. And all it takes to change is a decision. A decision to quit complaining. Quit majoring on what you don’t have or what is not happening and start being more grateful for what God has already done in your life. Replace all of that complaining with gratitude, being thankful to God.
Colossians 2:6-7 says,
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Notice that we are to abound with thanksgiving. Another translation says it this way, “overflowing with gratitude.” We all have something to be thankful for. You might not be exactly where you want to be in your life right now, but you still have something to be thankful for. You woke up this morning breathing. The Bible says, Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. No matter how bad your situation is right now, you do have reasons to be thankful. Just think about them and then tell God how thankful you are. Give a voice to your gratitude.
Dr. Jerry Savelle was an average, blue-collar man who was struggling and needed God's help. While he considered himself a "nobody," when he became a believer God told him not to worry about it because He was a master at making champions out of nobodies. God has since taken Dr. Savelle from being a constant quitter to a man who knows how to stand on the Word of God until victory is experienced. Because of the life-changing combination of God's faithfulness and Dr. Savelle's "no quit" attitude, his life is totally different than it was thirty-eight years ago.
Since 1969, Dr. Savelle traveled the world teaching people how to win in life. Dr. Savelle ministered in more than three thousand churches and in twenty-six nations, and has overseas offices in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada.
God used Dr. Savelle to impact people who are burned out on religion and who have backslidden in their walk with God, as well as Christians who have a need to hear the Word of God presented in terms applicable to their lives, dreams, and destinies. He hosted the Jerry Savelle Ministries television broadcast which airs in two hundred countries worldwide.
Dr. Savelle authored more than forty books, including his bestsellers, If Satan Can't Steal Your Joy, He Can't Keep Your Goods and You're Somebody Special to God. He served as one of the founding Pastors of Heritage of Faith Christian Center in Crowley, Texas.
Jerry J. Savelle, 77, went home to be with the Lord on April 15, 2024. He spent his last day on earth fulfilling his purpose teaching people the Word of God
