“Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” Romans 1:21 NKJV
David was called the man after God’s heart because he was always showing gratitude to God. “And David danced before the Lord with all his might…” (2 Samuel 6:14)
Ingratitude is a pointer to pride. Proverbs 16:18 says that pride goes before a fall. Ungrateful people are proud and are heading for a fall.
When you see a person who is always grateful, you see humility in the fellow and since God gives grace to the humble 1 Peter 5:5, the grace of God will always take the person higher.
Whatever opportunity you get, always remain grateful to God. Be grateful for even the little things that others take for granted; be grateful that you can sleep and wake the next day, that you can walk, talk, eat, wear your clothes by yourself, use the bathroom, that you still have a sound mind. In everything and for everything, give thanks for this is the will of God 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
Father, I am grateful for all that You are doing for me; please Lord, help me never to be ungrateful IJN.
Shalom!
