Observation
A
thankful heart is a happy heart! Do you have an attitude of
gratitude? Do I? I don't know about you, but I have so much to be
thankful for! My wife, my kids, my grandkids, my extended family, all
of my friends, my health, and so much more!
I
have the awesome opportunity to serve the Lord as a part-time
chaplain at a local hospital here in our area. Serving at the
hospital provides me with a constant reminder that life is very
fragile. Yes, things in our lives can change very quickly from one
day to the next.
How
we face these new challenges that come our way every day is so very
important!
Psalm
100 reminds me that a thankful
heart is a happy heart!
I
share these two verses all the time with patients in the hospital:
Philippians
4:6-7
“6 Don’t
worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what
you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then
you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can
understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in
Christ Jesus.”
Let's
take time to thank the Lord for all that He has done in our lives!
1
Thessalonians 5:18
Be
thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who
belong to Christ Jesus.
Psalm
28:7
The Lord is
my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me,
and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs
of thanksgiving.
Application
I
will take time today to give thanks to the Lord for everything that I
can think of!
How
about you? Do you have a thankful heart?
Psalm
50:23
But
giving thanks is
a sacrifice that truly honors me. If you keep to my path, I will
reveal to you the salvation of God.”
Psalm
109:30
But
I will give repeated thanks to
the Lord,
praising him to everyone.
Colossians
3:17
And
whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks through
him to God the Father.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know that it is very important to remind myself of how good
that You have been to me. I have so much to be thankful for! As a
Father, I know how important it is to have your children take the
time to say, “Thanks!” No one likes to be taken for granted. You
created me. You have given me everything. Everything that You have
created will one day be part of my inheritance. I am so blessed.
Thank You for my family and my friends and my health. Thank You for
loving me. You are a good good Father! You are the best!
