"Give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever." (Psalm 136:1 KJV)
Gratitude is 1a powerful attitude that can transform our lives. When we take time to reflect on God's blessings and all that He has done for us, it cultivates a spirit of thankfulness within us. This thankfulness then overflows into how we view each day - not as an entitlement, but as a gift.
Each morning when we rise, we can begin by giving thanks to God for the gift of a new day. As we go about our daily tasks, we can remain mindful of even the smallest blessings like health, family, friends, food, and shelter. At day's end as we lay down to sleep, we can again give thanks for God's hand of protection and provision throughout the hours.
Living with gratitude keeps our focus on the Giver rather than the gifts alone. It helps guard our hearts from feelings of entitlement, dissatisfaction, and complaining. Instead of focusing on what we don't have, gratitude shifts our focus to all that we do have - which is always more than we could ever deserve.
The Bible reminds us that apart from God, we can do nothing (John 15:5). Every breath, talent, and opportunity comes only by His grace. When we remember this, gratitude leads us to a place of humility, joy, and peace. It causes our souls to magnify the Lord who is so good and worthy of all thanksgiving.
May we never take God's goodness for granted but maintain hearts overflowing with gratitude. As we lift our thanks continually to Him, He fills us with His enduring love and mercy each new day.
