A Thankful Heart

Gratitude & Praise

Scripture
Stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Colossians 2:7 (KJV)

Reflection

Gratitude is a powerful spiritual discipline. Colossians 2:7 calls us into it: "Stablished in the faith, as ye have…" A thankful heart sees rightly. It notices the small mercies that an anxious heart misses. Today, before you ask the Lord for anything, take a few moments to thank Him — for breath, for grace, for the people around you, for the steadiness of His love. Gratitude turns the soul toward the Giver.

Prayer

Father, thank You. For breath, for grace, for everything. Let gratitude shape my heart today. Amen.
