Thankfulness

Be thankful.
Colossians 3:15

Thankfulness
As believers, don’t we have every reason to be thankful? God has blessed us richly in the Lord Jesus. He has given us much more than we would ever have dared to hope for. And yet – don’t we all have to admit that we are often not thankful enough?

Let’s think for a moment about how gratitude affects our lives:

o A grateful Christian is a happy Christian. He lives in the deep awareness that everything he is and has comes from God. Therefore, he accepts everything from the hand of his God.

o A grateful Christian is a praising Christian. He thinks daily of the work of redemption that the Lord Jesus accomplished on the cross. The love of his Saviour moves his heart and leads him to praise and thanksgiving.

o A grateful Christian is a blessing to others. He reminds his fellow Christians of what they possess in the Lord Jesus. This makes them joyful and grateful too. Through his gratitude, he shows his fellow human beings that he possesses something they lack.

o A grateful Christian doesn’t become discouraged in trials. Even on dark days, he knows that the sun shines above the clouds. Although he feels how painfully difficult the trial is, he sees in it the loving hand of his Father. Therefore, in times of need, he doesn’t forget to give thanks.
These few examples show us that it is always worthwhile to be grateful from the heart.

Today’s reading: Job 13:1-28 · Acts 9:17-30

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS

The bankruptcy that saves

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him - for the redemption of their souls is costly, and it shall cease for ever.

You were not redeemed with silver or gold from your aimless conduct but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and...More
