A Heart of Gratitude
Reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; Philippians 4:11-13
Devotional: Gratitude isn't merely a polite response—it's a transformative lifestyle. When we rejoice always and give thanks in all circumstances, we're not denying difficulty; we're choosing to see God's faithfulness amid it. Like a goat chasing after more instead of enjoying what was given, we often miss present blessings while pursuing what we think we need. Gratitude changes our perspective, making us better stewards of everything God entrusts to us. The tithe isn't about God needing our money—it's about cultivating appreciation for the 90% remaining. When we live gratefully, we discover contentment, and God blesses faithful stewards. Today, identify three blessings you've overlooked and thank God specifically for them.
