O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!
(1 Chron. 16:34 AMP)
One thing I've noticed is that when you live with an attitude of constant gratitude, not only will you thank God for what He's done in your life, you start thanking Him for what He will do in the future. You thank Him for opening doors for you. You thank Him for increasing you. You thank Him for bringing the right people into your life.

When we say "thank You" to God for the things that are coming, it's really a declaration of our faith in Him. It's saying, "God, I'm so sure of Your goodness, I'm so sure that You're working in my life that I'm going to thank You right now for what You are going to do tomorrow." Friend, that's the kind of faith that pleases God. He wants us to trust in His goodness and believe that He is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. He delights in seeing our faith. He delights in an attitude of gratitude.

Today, let your faith say thank you. Praise Him throughout the day with an attitude of joy and expect to see His goodness in every area of your life!

A Prayer for Today
Father, thank You for another day to praise Your name. Thank You for all You have done in my life and for what You will do tomorrow. Help me to see Your hand of blessing as I continually praise Your name in Jesus' name. Amen.
