Wednesday Daily Devotional By Pastor David Okoye (Ambassadors Diet 28th September 2016) - A Life-Style Of ThanksGiving
Thanksgiving and maintaining a heart of gratitude towards God is an attitude a lot of God's children are yet to inculcate in their walk with God.
It is normal to find grateful hearts when things are going well but many don't find reason to be heartily grateful when things seem rough. The Amplified rendering puts 1 Thessalonians 5:18 as "Thank (God) in everything (no matter what the circumstances maybe, be thankful and give thanks..."
There is a big difference between giving thanks and being thankful. Being thankful is an attitude and giving thanks is the action produced from the attitude of being thankful. For the God child, being thankful should gain consistency despite the situations being faced "no matter the circumstance- in everything”
Too many can't find reason to be thankful even in their day to day activities, they can't just say 'thank you' for the smallest help rendered, and they never see anything good to be grateful for.
You've got to distance yourself from such people and refuse such attitude in your life. “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones” Proverbs 17:22.
Being thankful unlocks and ushers you into the manifestations of God's will for your life.
God has spoken promotion into your life, it might not look as if you are being promoted presently, don't despair, pick up the attitude of being thankful and in due time the manifestations would become evident.
PRAYER
Father I thank you for all you have done and accomplished in my life including those that I am yet to see. From this day on I develop in me the attitude of being thankful.
SCRIPTURAL REFERENCE
Ephesians 5:20
