In Luke 17 Jesus healed ten lepers but only one returned to thank Him. Not only did he return to thank Jesus but it says he did so loudly glorifying the Lord. Psalm 100:1 tells us to make a joyful shout to the Lord. Having a grateful heart is one of the most dominate subjects in scripture. We are reminded over and over to give thanks and speak with a heart of gratitude. Why do we need so many reminders? We naturally tend to dwell on the negatives, the hurts, the struggles, the discomforts, and disappointments. We must learn to see the many things we have to thank God for everyday and then voice that heart of gratitude. I read that the Pilgrims dug seven times more graves than living quarters. Yet, they set aside a day to give thanks. This week every time you find something about which to complain, ad a “but” to that complaint and find something to say with gratitude. Researchers tell us that gratitude is the healthiest of all emotions. That is just the way God designed us.

Author: Becky Date Posted: 15 Nov 2009 03:32 PM (GMT -06:00) I am loving this series and the reminder of the fact that we are so blessed even when things are going wrong. I have even challenged a lot of the students in our department to do the same by adding the "but" to every negative thing they say. I am still trying to remember to do this daily...hopeully this will not just be a challenge for a week or month, but for a lifetime! Thanks Bro. Bobby! |
