There’s a lot of people out there walking around with the wrong attitude concerning life. Most take life for granted and expect that they simply deserve everything that they have. Some even feel that they are self-made and earned everything by themselves or on their own.
However, there is nothing that you nor I have done to deserve all of the many blessings that the Lord has afforded us to have. It is merely a result of God’s unmerited favor towards us. What do I mean? First of all, it was God’s desire that you were even born. It was God that kept you alive through the many risks that you took with a life that wasn’t even your own. It was God’s Grace that saved you from the debt of sin. It was God’s good pleasure for you to prosper and be in good health.
If for no other reason at all, its good manners to say “Thank You,” to anyone who does anything for you. However, since God has done it all, the least we can do is walk around with an attitude of gratitude and “THANK HIM.”
So look back over your life and say, ‘THANK YOU LORD FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME.”
“in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NKJV
