I want to share something with you from a personal perspective.
Although this year has been a challenging year, I find myself still saying, "Thank you, Lord Jesus."
And I say this because how could I not thank the Lord? How could you not thank the Lord?
I'm living. I'm healthy. I'm of a sound mind.
I'm blessed to have a family. blessed to have food on my plate and a place to stay.
This is not to say everything has been perfect or everything is perfect, but the message I want to tell you is be thankful.
Find something, find one thing to be thankful about.
We should be believers that rejoice and give thanks to God Almighty through the good and through the bad.
Sure, the car broke down, but I thank you for legs that can walk.
Maybe I've lost my job. It's a problem.
But I can still thank God I haven't lost my health.
Yes, you might not be able to afford the most luxurious dining experience, but thank God that you have never missed a meal.
People of God, we ought to have a spirit of thankfulness. Let it be your disposition in life to stop for a moment and say thank you.
When Jesus healed the 10 lepers in Luke 17, only one came back to say thank you.
Think about that. Only one. If I would get the chance to speak to those other nine lepers, l'd ask them, "How could you take the goodness of the Lord for granted like that? You couldn't say thank you.
Unfortunately, many of us today do the exact same thing. We don't take the time to simply thank God for things that we now deem to be the norm.
When the bills are paid, when there's money in the bank, when there's plenty to laugh and be happy about, do you remember to say, "Thank you, Lord. I know where you've brought me from. I remember when it wasn't like this."
Or how about when you're struggling, work is tough, the business isn't performing well, and you have problems.
Do you remember to say thank you?
Thank you, Lord, because I may be
