Daily Devotion from Pastor Eric & Rita - Constant Gratitude

Constant Gratitude
Today's Devotional Reading: Mt. 20-22
November 25, 2010

By reading the scripture above each day you will read the Old Testament through in one year and the New Testament through twice in a year. This will change your life. Start Today!
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE


"O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!" (I Chronicles 16:34, AMP).


TODAY'S WORD
 
, what are you grateful for today? Are you grateful for His love, mercy, and kindness? Are you grateful for the sun that shines and brings us a new day? Are you thankful for the gift of eternal life?


Gratefulness is a powerful force in the life of the believer. No matter what may be happening in the world around you, you can always find something to thank God for. Having constant gratitude shows that you have faith in God because not only do you thank Him for what He has done in the past, you thank Him for what He will do in the future. And faith pleases God; it causes Him to move on your behalf. Constant gratitude shows humility because when we are thankful, we magnify God instead of magnifying our problems. It gives us proper perspective, and humility opens the door for God's grace, favor, and supernatural empowerment. Constant gratitude shows that we trust God, and it opens the door of our hearts to His peace and joy which gives us strength.


Develop an attitude of constant gratitude and give thanks to the Lord for His goodness. As you do, you'll experience His mercy and loving-kindness in greater ways and move forward in the abundant life He has prepared for you.


A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY

Father in heaven, today I declare my thanks to You for all You have done in my life. Help me see Your hand of blessing as I continually acknowledge and praise You for Your goodness and mercy. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

We sure love you!
Eric & Rita
