"In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thess 5:18
Have you ever allowed someone to get in front of you in traffic and gotten annoyed at the fact that they did not acknowledge your kindness with a simple waive of the hand? Have you ever held the door for someone who walked through and kept on going without a word?
Beloved, how often to we treat the Lord this way? He who supplies all of our needs so often goes without the gratitude that rightfully belongs to Him. We should thank Him for everything. It is with and because of thanks that we have all things from Him: "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." Phil 4:6
It is the most basic courtesy, one taught from the earliest ages, to simply say "thank you" for that which we have received.
In Revival,
Lee
