STUDY GUIDE
II Timothy 3:1-5
I Chronicles 16:34
Ephesians 5:18-20
James 1:17
II Corinthians 4:13
We don't instantly become thankful. We only become thankful when we habitually practice gratitude. We should make a habit of expressing our gratitude toward God. If a gift is good, it ultimately comes from the unchanging God.
When we see something good in our lives, we need to point it out and thank God for it. This helps rewire our brain to be proficient at recognizing the good in our lives. Gratitude should impact our relationship with God and other people.
To appreciate something or someone is to raise its value. When you appreciate someone, you raise their value. It increases their self-worth. Develop this. Don't take anything for granted.
It is time for the Body of Christ to be thankful to the Father for all He has done. Without God, it's all natural, and that is chaos continually. With God in our lives, we have a God-given right to move from chaos to order – that is God's order, not man's order. God's order is equal to God's will. We are in God's plan; we are blessed, and the creative power of God is always working.
There is a correlation between God's power always working and our faith. Our part is faith in God and His Word and His power available within us. Be thankful for the spirit of faith within us. It is God's way of blessing us continually. Keep the switch of faith turned on by acknowledging continually what you are believing God for. Keep doubt out by keeping faith in. Faith isn't connected to our five physical senses. It is connected to our spirits, which is above and beyond our physical senses.
God has already decided in advance that our lives should be good. He is right, and that protects us. Our vision is limited, but God's vision isn't limited. He can see forever. He sees the end from the beginning and He will never be against us. We become grateful as we realize this and acknowledge it. We should continually encourage ourselves that God is for us. The world will try to prove that God is against us so that doubt replaces our faith.
Don't complain about the things that are not going the way you want them to go. Start seeing the things that are going the way you want them to go and be thankful for them. Then they will outweigh the other things. The things you are thankful for will affect your life more and the other things will start to lose their value. Being thankful has power in it to raise those things and people up around you.
Break the bonds that are holding you back by being thankful. Read the Psalms. Our God is worthy of all thanksgiving.
