Here we are! 21 days of thankfulness and praise under our belts. My prayer is that you are richer for the experience. I pray that in the most difficult situations you find that you have trained your spirit through faith to the look at the situation through grateful eyes with a thankful heart. Our scripture today really sums up nicely our last 21 days. We didn’t plan this. Can We Talk?!
As I meditate on this today’s scripture, which is Ephesians 1:15-17, I hope that you found that during the last 21 days:
- You were strengthened in your faith
- You increased your love for God’s people
- You improved your prayer life, your ability to recognize blessings, and your desire to give thanks in all things (changed your perspective)
- God gave you wisdom and revelation
- You had the opportunity to spend time with the Lord so that you may know Him better.
For our journeys to heaven we need thankful hearts. When our hearts are thankful we can’t help but praise God. We can’t help but love God’s people and demonstrate that love through word and deed. When we can find that place of grateful expression our faith is strengthened and we are closer to our Father and more like His son Jesus.
