His Word for Today: Book of Deuteronomy 29:1-2

This morning’s verse talks about being grateful.

What are we grateful for today? (See 1 Thessalonians 5:18) Have we missed out on what the Lord or the people around us have done for us already? Not getting what we want or the offenses from others (See Proverbs 19:11) can hinder us from being grateful. Therefore, we must become intentional (See Colossians 3:23) in showing thankfulness to others around us. Are we content with what the Lord has given us? (See 1 Timothy 6:6) Greed may blind us from giving thanks for what we have already been given.

At the end of the day, what matters is not how much we received, gained, earned, or accumulated on this earth, but how our hearts have dealt with the situation, showing gratitude to the Lord and the people He worked through, which has eternal implications.  (See 2 Corinthians 3:18, 2 Corinthians 4:18)Today, let us choose to be intentional about giving thanks. Because character growth has eternal value. 

May the Lord continue to richly bless you!
