Devotion:
Read Psalm 107:1.
This one verse gives us two primary reasons why we “give thanks to the Lord”: he is good and his love never ends. These two reasons can generate gratitude for each day. Here’s an exercise in gratitude: alphabetize your blessings. Start with A and work your way down the alphabet, thanking God as you go. This is a sure cure for the grumpy spirit.
A=Annabelle C=Chocolate
B=Beaches D=Doctors
and so on through the alphabet
THANKS. Just the word lifts the spirit. To say thanks is to celebrate a gift. Something. Anything. Gratitude flushes the self-pity out of our systems.
Have you said your ABC’s today?
Personal Worship Option:
Prayer for today. “Father, as I sit here surrounded by all I should be thankful for, I'm reminded that you are so much bigger and greater than I could ever imagine or understand. Give me reminders to be grateful today. Don’t allow me to miss the small or big blessings around me. Fill my heart with gratitude. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
