Hey, FAITH Fam!
It’s January 12, 2025, and today we’re putting the spotlight on gratitude. Life may not always look exactly how you want it to, but even in the middle of it all, there’s always something to thank God for. Gratitude isn’t just about saying “thank You”; it’s about shifting your perspective to see the blessings all around you.
The Power of a Grateful Heart
Gratitude changes the way you see your situation. When you focus on what’s good, it reminds you that God is working in your life, even in the small things.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 says: “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
Notice it doesn’t say to give thanks for all circumstances, but in all circumstances. No matter what’s happening, God is still good, and His plans for you are still unfolding.
Today’s Focus: Count Your Blessings
Take a moment to pause today and count your blessings. Here are a few ways to cultivate gratitude:
Write it Down: Start a gratitude list and add three things you’re thankful for today.
Thank God in Prayer: Speak to Him about the specific ways He’s blessed you.
Bless Someone Else: Gratitude grows when we share kindness with others.
