GratitudeAlways Giving Thanks
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
A Spirit-filled life is marked by constant, comprehensive thanksgiving to God.
Paul connects being filled with the Spirit to giving thanks always for all things. This suggests that gratitude is a spiritual discipline and evidence of God's presence in our lives. When the Holy Spirit controls us, thanksgiving flows naturally from our hearts. We can thank God for all things because we trust His sovereign hand in everything.
For Today
Set three alarms throughout your day as reminders to pause and thank God for something specific.
Prayer
Father, fill me with Your Spirit so that thanksgiving overflows from my heart. Help me see every moment as an opportunity to give You thanks. Amen.
