Sunday Devotional: Being Thankful

By Eowyn @DrEowyn

Psalm 92:2-6

It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praise to Your name, Most High,
To proclaim Your love at daybreak,
Your faithfulness in the night,
With the ten-stringed harp,
with melody upon the lyre.
For you make me jubilant, Lord, by Your deeds;
at the works of Your hands I shout for joy.
How great are Your works, Lord!
How profound Your designs!

Study after study find that gratitude, not money (or being stupid), is the key to being happy. Happy people tend to:

  • express gratitude on a regular basis;
  • practice being optimistic;
  • engage in frequent acts of kindness;
  • savor joyful events; and
  • practice forgiveness.

Just remember: Whatever we have — our body and mind, talents and skills, family and friends, and life itself — are all wholly and entirely gratuitous (unearned) gifts from the Creator.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Brothers and sisters:
Rejoice always.
Pray without ceasing.
In all circumstances give thanks,
for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
 

May the peace and love of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you!
