Gratitude Attitude!

“I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be in my mouth.” Psalms 34:1

Attitude can be described as one’s disposition and reaction to every impulse, time, and other life factors. What has been your attitude? What has been your disposition? What has been your reaction to life and the issues of life? If you are a person who is grateful for everything that happens to you, then it is likely that you have a grateful attitude towards life.

The Psalmist, a man with the understanding of God’s faithfulness, integrity, and track record of being a very present help in troubles, then offers to bless the Lord at all times. What an amazing testimony and commitment. David saw rejection from childhood, faced death while growing up, and battle all around as a king. Yet, he made this commitment. Make this an obligation to give thanks in everything. Surely the Lord will be good for you.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

There is no doubt that life in itself is rosy and plain altogether. The amazing thing is that the heirs of the Lord’s kingdom have been offered a way out of the heat, pressure, hardness, and difficulty of life. Gratitude is the key. Gratitude should be an attitude for every Christian and children of God. Surely there is hope for us in Christ Jesus.

A lifestyle and attitude of gratitude should be our life disposition. A writer once wrote, “You don’t thank God only for what he has done, but you thank Him for the greater things He is going to do for you shortly.” Do you believe in this? I do. It’s not about me or my circumstances but rather how we respond to them. Be grateful. Psalm 145:1 says, “I will exalt You, my God and King; I will bless Your name forever and ever.”

Prayer:
1. Thank you, Jesus, for all that you have done for me.
2. Lord, I am grateful. I receive grace for gratitude in everything and at all times.
