APPLICATION
Have you ever been around someone who is unthankful about everything? Where they live, their health, how much money they have, relationships that are always full of drama as they blame someone else for their unhappiness.
Meditating on the goodness, mercy, and grace of God brings forth a natural response of thankfulness. An attitude of gratitude is the only logical response to such a loving God and Savior. From thankfulness comes a sacrifice of praise, worship, and services to Him, done with a loving and grateful heart.
All tasks become an act of worship and service unto God: washing dishes-making beds-doing homework-loving and forgiving others. The pleasant becomes more enjoyable while the unpleasant becomes easier to handle. Thankfulness is a powerful weapon against the enemy. During trials and temptations, Satan lies to us that God does not care about us; but He does! Stay thankful to God, and watch the enemy flee.
