Jerusalem has been utterly destroyed and it’s people taken into captivity. And as a witness to the desolation, Jeremiah is heartbroken. Yet even in the midst of pain, the prophet’s heart is filled with gratitude as he calls out to the Lord, “Great is Your faithfulness!” …

Psalm 50:14
Any true and good thing we have in our lives is a gift from God. And while it’s important to thank Him with our lips, what the Lord really wants is to see our gratitude in action. He wants us to become living sacrifices of thanksgiving. How? By walking in truth, love, grace, and mercy. We are Christ’s ambassadors on earth, and from hearts overflowing with gratitude, the same blessings He so generously gives to us, we should be showing to others. Jesus willingly became a sacrifice for us, shouldn’t we joyfully do the same in return?

1 Timothy 4:4
Awhile back a friend of mine, who knows a bit about the Bible yet practices another faith, asked me about the book of Leviticus. He didn’t understand why I, as a Christian, didn’t follow the book’s rules forbidding certain foods. I explained that once we were under the Law, but now through the victory of Jesus, we are under grace. Through His death, Christ gave us the freedom to enjoy all of God’s blessings, including food and marriage. All He asks is that we receive His gifts with hearts of thanksgiving and gratitude.

1 Thessalonians 5:18
It’s easy to thank God during the good times, but what about the bad? Although trials are never easy, God wants us to be able to find gratitude in each tribulation we face. But how do we thank Him when it feels as though our tears will never dry, our hearts will never heal, and our circumstance will never change? On our own it’s impossible. But in the strength of Jesus, the impossible becomes possible. When we walk with the Lord and lay all things at His feet, we can not only thank God in all things, we can also experience the peace and joy of knowing everything is in the perfect hands of God who loves us most!

Psalm 9:1
Have you ever taken the time to thank God? I mean really thank God? Each night as part of my nightly prayer, I would absentmindedly thank Him for the blessings of the day. And far from being sincere, my gratefulness had become nothing more than routine. But when I truly understood that from the moment I wake, until I go to sleep at night, and each moment in between, is a beautiful blessing from God, my heart overflowed with thankfulness. For each day is truly a gift from above.
