Day after day, we all go through life experiences which determines how we see things in life. Whatever we focus on life that is what we attract in life. If our focus is on giving thanks in the midst of painful life circumstances, we experience joy emotionally and spiritually. Remember being thankful is expressed attitude of thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is basically our hearts response to the goodness, favors and benefits of God to us. We are to be thankful to God for sending His Son Jesus to die for our sins and through Him we enjoy divine blessings. Mac Hammond, a leading preacher states “when you proactively take steps to focus on the good things in your life and give God glory for what He’s done, your attention will naturally swing away from worldly concerns. On the other hand, since your flesh is created to negotiate this world, if left unchecked, it will maintain a negative focus, and ultimately cause you to become an unthankful person.” Every burdens in life, we give to God along with giving thanks that there is deliverance out of this burden. We can develop a habit of thanksgiving by looking daily for reasons to be grateful from simple everyday conveniences to bigger blessings. Today, what are you grateful for?
