Good
Morning!
If you think your problems are
terrible, be assured that there is always someone who is going through a worse
situation than you.
Frequently, individuals concentrate on their circumstances,
obstacles or deficiencies instead of expressing gratitude to God for their
blessings.
A man once had a pebble, and there is a tale about it. To
constantly recall the abundant blessings, Grace, and Mercy of God, the man kept
a stone in his pocket as a memento. Every time he picked up his keys or found
loose change, he made sure to express his gratitude to God instead of
complaining about his hardships.
Remember to always take a moment to express gratitude to
God for the gift of a new day, good health, sustenance, and shelter. Many
people get frustrated with life when their desires are not fulfilled, and they
may start feeling abandoned by God.
In Deuteronomy chapter
8, it is explicitly stated to never forget the Lord. The purpose of this
chapter was to refresh the memory of the Israelite children regarding their
ordeal throughout the 40-year expedition. Their "stone in the pocket"
moment occurred when they reached this chapter. The children were expected to
heed all of God's commands and thoughtfully consider each one.
There is a missing ingredient in the lives of
so many individuals. It seems that individuals do not struggle with expressing
their desires to God, yet they often make justifications for why they neglect
to express gratitude towards God.
Try shifting your
focus to giving more thanks and praise to the Lord. Make sure to take a moment
to express your gratitude to God, no matter how hectic your schedule may be.
Express gratitude to God during everyday activities like showering, brushing
your teeth, or waiting in traffic. Alternatively, you can cultivate a gratitude-centered
mindset by carrying a pebble in your pocket, serving as a constant reminder to
praise and thank God.
Father God I am thankful for all your blessings. I will praise and thank you more! in Jesus name. Amen.
