Bless the Lord

Gratitude & Praise

Scripture
Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Colossians 3:17 (KJV)

Reflection

A grateful heart guards against many quiet enemies — comparison, bitterness, despair. Colossians 3:17 arms us with it: "Whatsoever ye do in word or deed…" Today, name three things you are thankful for and offer them aloud to God. The simple act of naming gratitude rewires the soul.

Prayer

Lord, receive my praise today, even in the ordinary moments. You are worthy. Amen.

Thought for the Day

What small mercy have I overlooked?
