Why is it so difficult for us as humans to always complain than yo be contented? It the amount of times we complain about things, if we use the same amount of time to be grateful, it would reduce the amount of time we complain or the things we complain about.
There is a connection between our gratitude and our attitude. If we can find time to focus on the things that has worked up till now, then our faith can increase to know that we should be grateful. The God that has helped us up till now won't take His foot off the gas.
Giving thanks to God is giving honour to the source of all things. The Bible told us what do we have that we have not received? If we have received it, why do we boast as though we had not? Giving thanks is an application also for the next because it shows unflinching faith in God's ability to deliver again since he has been the One we have acknowledged till now.
Gratitude is a state of the heart and even Jesus asked the only leper that came back with gratitude; "Were ten not cleansed? Where are the other nine?" Gratitude keeps us humble knowing we acknowledged that we didn't do it all by ourselves.
There is always something to be grateful for...it only depends on the angle at which you are looking at it and your expectations. It's human not to be grateful because we feel we have everything all figured out. We are to give thanks in all things because God is still God in good and bad times. When you keep thanking God, He will come through for you.
A transformed life begins with obedience to God. There is always something in the Word of God which we need to remind ourselves of, which must be done. An attitude of gratitude will turn your life into the beatitudes. A grateful heart is all that is needed to see more of God at work. It takes only a heart deep in thoughts to see the goodness of God all around and be grateful for it.
What are you grateful for? Switch your approach from complaining to see the things He has done and let that fuel you to stay in faith and see things turn around with a positive approach and mindset.
Thank you for your time.
