Why is it so hard to be thankful? As a sinner, I confess that my heart is bent towards ungratefulness b/c I am not always conscious of the benefits I have received in Christ. When I looked up the antonym for thankful one of the words was "joyless." I don't want to be a joyless person. I am a Christian saved by grace and have every reason to rejoice!
This verse is always one that reminds me of why I should live day to day thankful and full of JOY!
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
(Psalm 103:1-5 ESV)
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
(Psalm 103:1-5 ESV)
Today and everyday,
I am thankful for the Cross of Christ for without His blood shed for me I am nothing.
