BE THANKFUL

“Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
 make known among the nations what he has done.”
 1 Chronicles 16:8

If you are a child of God, you ought to be able to thank God
every moment of every day no matter what happens to you.
Have you ever stopped to thank God for the water that you drink?
In some third world countries the majority of the population
doesn’t have reasonably pure drinking water.
Millions of people die annually just from water related diseases.
If you wear a hearing aid, do you ever thank God for that?
Some people wish they had a hearing aid. 
If you are a student in the midst of final exams,
do you thank God that you have an exam to take?
There are many who wish they could afford college.
Do you thank God for your next breath?
Of course it doesn’t make sense to thank Him for things that are unpleasant.
However, when we do that, we are saying to the Lord that we trust Him implicitly in ALL things.

Take whatever it is that looks like a trial in your life today and thank God for it!
Every time the thought enters your mind to grumble or complain, thank Him instead.
