SHOW GRATITUDE

Although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. - Romans 1:21

A hospital chaplain kept a record of some 2,000 patients whom he had visited at a hospital. All of these patients who were at the point of death were very responsive to the word of God.

Among those restored to health, he observed that only two showed a marked change in their spiritual lives after their recovery.

In other words, when these people thought they would die, they accepted the Word of God and prayed for His healing grace.

But when they recovered, they forgot about God. That is how we can be sometimes. We cry out to God. He answers our prayers.

Then we forget about Him. We rejoice in the blessing so much that we forget the one who blessed us.

We delight so much in the gift we forget the giver. But the giver is more important than the gift. And nothing hinders our blessing more than ingratitude.

The point is, we need to put as much zeal in thanking God for what He has done for us as we put into pleading with Him when we are in need.

In the Gospel of Luke, we read the story of the ten lepers who came to Jesus and pleaded for His mercy. The Lord instructed them to go and show themselves to the priests. As they went, they were cleansed of their leprosy.

The Bible says only one of them returned to Jesus to give thanks. Then Jesus asked, "Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Of the ten, only one came to give glory and praise to God.

What would you think of a person who always come to you for assistance, but never offer a word of thanks in return?

Is there anything in your life that you need to give thanks for? Count your blessings and thanks to God.

Prayer: Father, forgive me for my lack of gratitude.

LEARN TO THRIVE IN EVERY SEASON

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. - Ecclesiastes 3:1

To really enjoy life, you must know how to handle time and the different seasons that you will go through. Change is constant in life.

Every day, week, month and year introduces new things in your life. You will not be on a constant high; neither will you be on a constant low. There will be seasons of dryness and seasons of fruitfulness.

Each season has its purpose and works to make you appreciate God's grace towards you in different situations. When you are up, He is there with you and when you are down, He also stays with you. Place the seasons of your life in God's hands.

Ask God to transform your attitudes and bring positive results out of negative situations as you travel through life's seasons.

Rely on God's unchanging power in the midst of changes you experience in all aspects of your life.

Rather than battling the season you currently find yourself in, ask God what He wants you to learn from it, and trust Him to give you the encouragement and strength you need. Know that, while life is unpredictable, your faith in God will always stand. Use your time wisely.

Regularly remind yourself of how fragile and fleeting life on earth can be, and that every day is a gift from God. Don't fall into the traps of being lazy or too driven, missing out on God's best for you.

Ask God to give you wisdom to use your time each day as He would like you to use it, according to His purposes for your life.

Prayer: Lord, I thank You that wherever I am, You are there with me; help me to trust You daily.

Scriptural Reading: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

During World War 2, a soldier was separated from his unit on an island.

The fighting had been intense, and in the smoke and the crossfire he had lost touch with his comrades.

Alone in the jungle, he could hear enemy soldiers coming in his direction.

Scrambling for cover, he found his way ! up a high ridge to several small caves in the rock. Quickly he crawled inside one of the caves.

Although safe for the moment, he realised that once the enemy soldiers looking for him swept up the ridge, they would quickly search all the caves and he would be killed.

As he waited, he prayed, "Lord, please spare my life. Whatever will happen, I love you and trust you. Amen."

After praying, he lay quietly listening to the enemy begin to draw close.

He thought, "Well, I guess the Lord isn't going to help me out of this one."

Then he saw a spider begin to build a web over the front of his cave.

"Hah" he thought, "What I need is a brick wall and what the Lord has sent me is a spider web. God does have a sense of humour."

As the enemy drew closer he watched from the darkness of his hide out and could see them searching one cave after another.

As they came to his, he got ready to make his last stand, but then he heard the leader of the soldiers say:

"you may as well ignore looking in this cave ...if he had entered here this web would be broken!" So they left and he was delivered!

To his amazement, however, after glancing in the direction of his cave, they moved on.

Suddenly he realised that with the spider web over the entrance, his cave looked as if no one had entered for quite a while.

"Lord, forgive me," he prayed. "I had forgotten that in you a spider's web is stronger than a brick wall. He will use the most foolish things in this world to confound the wise

God is our protector and shield he will never put us to shame.
