Full And Grateful

Bless our God, O peoples, And sound His praise abroad, Who keeps us in life And does not allow our feet to slip. For You have tried us, O God; You have refined us as silver is refined. You brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins. You made men ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water, Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance.  Psalms 66:8-12 NASB

GRATITUDE. Be full of thanksgiving. Everything we have, are, and do is a gift from God. Don’t think they come from you. Instead, realize that all the good gifts we experience are purely by the grace of God. And when we experience emotional, spiritual, or physical difficulty – and we certainly will – be sure to thank God for those gifts as well.

Why? Because He’s gives us those difficulties as part of the refining process. He’s growing our faith. He’s preparing us for eternity.

Gratefully recognize God is THE source of all that is all that was and all that will be.
