A thankful attitude triggers answers to prayers. It puts God in charge of everything concerning you and brings down his glory. Gratitude is expressed through praise. Praise is all you do to make God happy and it is God’s natural habitat (Psalms 22:3).
A thankful attitude opens windows of heaven. Spiritual blessings fall freely onto you through those openings into eternity. Moreover, as you look up with a grateful heart, you get a glimpse of Glory through those windows. You cannot yet live in heaven, but you can experience foretastes of your ultimate home. Such samples of heavenly fare revive your hope.
Thankfulness opens you up to experiences which provides further reasons to be grateful. Thus, your path becomes an upward spiral, ever increasing in gladness.
Thankfulness is not some sort of magic formula; it is the language of love, which enables you to communicate immediately with God.
A thankful mindset does not entail denial of reality with its plethora of problems. Instead, it rejoices in God your savior, in the midst of trials and tribulations.
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present and well proved help in trouble.”
Think about one thing to thank God for today and as you do so, you will find many more reasons to thank Him.
