O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!No matter what is going on in life, we can find a reason to thank God. We choose what we focus on. We can either focus on our problems, or we can focus on our blessings. The question is: do you want more problems, or do you want more blessings? When you thank God, you are focusing on the blessing!
(1 Chron. 16:34 AMP)
One thing I've noticed is that when you live with an attitude of constant gratitude, not only do you thank God for what He's done in your life, you start thanking Him for what He will do in your life. 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 you say "Thank You" to God for the things that are coming, it's really a declaration of your faith in Him. You are saying in essence, "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!"
Today, have an attitude of gratitude. Let your faith say, "Thank You." Praise Him throughout the day with a humble heart and watch what He will do on your behalf!
