What motivates us to express gratitude to ABBA FATHER? 

We often remember to thank Him when something positive happens in our life, but our verse of the day tells us to give thanks in all things, which would include difficult times as well as happier circumstances. 

That may seem illogical to some of us, but it is not!

Even though life may be difficult, our hope and joy remain because we serve the eternal, omniscient and omnipotent GOD of love!

We need to remember that our gratitude magnifies the LORD. He is pleased when we obediently thank Him even in difficult times! Our thankfulness also reinforces our faith. Recalling His faithfulness in the past equips us to face the future!

1 Thess. 5:18
In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in MESSIAH YESHUA  for you.

It’s easy to be grateful when we receive something we have desired for a long time. But, GOD wants us to express thanksgiving in everything!

Meditate on His goodness, faithfulness, sovereignty and His pure promises, always offering Him thanks in all!

Love & Blessings,
