Good Morning!
Why are people so ungrateful? It’s a question that echoes through every generation. We pray with passion when we need something from God, but once the blessing arrives, many quietly slip back into routine forgetting the very One who answered their cry. Gratitude fades, and entitlement takes its place.
This isn’t new. Jesus experienced the same response. Ten lepers lifted their voices, pleading for mercy. All ten were healed, yet only one returned to give thanks. The other nine received the miracle but withheld the gratitude. Their bodies were cleansed, but their hearts remained unchanged.
Ungratefulness often shows up when prayers are answered and when they aren’t. Some rejoice only when God says “yes,” and grow frustrated or distant when He says “wait” or “no.” But gratitude is not a reaction; it is a posture. It is a way of living that remembers God in every season.
After forty years in the wilderness, God warned Israel not to forget Him once they entered the promise land. He knew prosperity can make people careless. Comfort can make people forgetful. Blessings can make people blind to the Giver. “When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God…”(Deut. 8).
Whether you are in a wilderness season or standing in abundance, don’t forget God. Don’t let answered prayers silence your praise. Don’t let comfort replace devotion. Don’t let blessings make you forget the Blesser.
Gratitude keeps your heart soft. Gratitude keeps your spirit humble. Gratitude keeps your eyes on God.
Today, choose to be the one who returns. Be grateful for every blessing seen and unseen. Praise God more. Thank Him often. And never forget the One who has carried you every step of the way.
