Why Gratitude? Why Now?

Gratitude is not reserved for November.
It should be a lifestyle.

We will always sacrifice something we value for that which we value more.

The things we are called to are not dependent upon us, but are an opportunity for us to rely on God even more.

Our entire world is working through a collective trauma, and yet, I believe that we can find opportunities to be grateful.

While we should be excited about God’s promises, let’s think for a few minutes about what these gifts remind us about his character.

Let’s continue to pray, seek, and turn humbly, knowing that our good God does the miraculous and keeps his promises.

Things are bleak right now, but God is good, he is in control, and he longs for us to draw near to him.

In the midst of immense difficulty, we can pray and cry out to God, casting all of our cares upon him because he cares for us.

If you are God’s child, you are more influential than you think. Let’s use that influence well today!

For the past month or so, there’s been one verse, in particular, that keeps springing to my mind.
