A Thankful Heart
Gratitude & Praise
Scripture
“I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.”
— Psalm 69:30 (KJV)
Reflection
Gratitude is a powerful spiritual discipline. Psalm 69:30 calls us into it: "I will praise the name of God…" 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
God of every good gift, awaken thankfulness in me. Open my eyes to the kindnesses I have overlooked. Amen.
