THE KEY OF GRATITUDE (2)
TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: TUESDAY, 14 FEBRUARY 2023
It has been established that gratitude is the foundation for thanksgiving, and thanksgiving is a key to receiving answers to prayers. Today we will examine how to remain grateful in the face of life’s difficult moments. As believers, Scripture makes it clear in John 16:33, that in this world we will have tribulations. But Jesus also admonishes us in the same verse to be of good cheer. This means to maintain a grateful disposition towards life and remain thankful no matter the circumstance.
SCRIPTURE: Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:18 NLT)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: Our anchor Scripture buttresses the fact that God wills for us to be thankful at all times. To maintain an attitude of gratitude no matter the situation. When we live a life of gratitude and thanksgiving, we tell God that we trust in Him and that we know He is able to deliver us from whatever challenge we face. To remain grateful, we must change our focus. We must learn to focus on the things God has done for us and resist the urge to hyperfocus on the things we are still trusting Him for. Stay Refreshed.
NOTE THIS: God wills for us to to remain thankful at all times no matter the circumstance.
RESPONSIBILITY: Pray and ask God for the grace to live lives of gratitude and thanksgiving.
PRAYER: Oh Lord, I ask for grace to give thanks in all circumstance for I know it is your will for my life, in Jesus’s name, Amen!
PROPHETIC WORD: May the LORD release upon you the grace to remain grateful at all time and not give into murmuring and complaining, in Jesus name, Amen.
BIBLE TEXTS: John 6:33, 1 Thessalonians 5:18
