Cultivate An Attitude Of Gratitude__

Some Christians simply love complaining; they complain about how terrible theeconomic situation is and moan about the pain in their bodies.When you listen to such people long enough, you’re sure to wonder whether or notGod is still performing miracles. I believe God is still doing marvellous things in the livesof His children. However, only a few of them can recognize or discern what He’s doing.The reason is, very few of them have cultivated the attitude of gratitude.The ungrateful man is miracle-blind. He’s the one who is always complaining aboutwhat he doesn’t have. It’s terrible to be an ungrateful person. You can’t nurture a lovingrelationship without any expression of gratitude for the good done. Everybody wantsGod to do something new in their lives, but only a few take out time to thank Him forwhat He has already done. If you don’t cultivate an attitude of gratitude, you’ll see lessof what your heavenly Father is doing and you’ll have trouble recognizing His miraculousworks in your life.I love to shower my praises on the Lord; I love to render the calves of my lips to Himthrough my worship (Hosea 14:2). Over the years, I discovered that the more you thankHim for what He’s done, the more you see what He’s doing and the more He can do foryou. This is why my life is never short of miracles; I live an endless life of the miraculous.When the Lord Jesus healed ten lepers, only one came back to thank Him for thehealing miracle. It was only this grateful leper that was made completely whole of theeffects of the disease (Luke 17:19). If there’s one thing you should build yourself to be,it’s to be a grateful man or woman. Anybody who is grateful at the little things that hesees will be grateful at anything. When you pray to God, let it be from a grateful heart.Take time to thank Him for His power that keeps you healthy and whole. Give Himpraise for the results you get every time you call upon His Name. Thank Him for Hislove, faithfulness and sovereignty.P A S TOR A N I TA"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him,and bless his name” (Psalm 100:4).FURTHER STUDY: PSALM 95:2; PHILIPPIANS 4:6_ _
