Scripture: Psalm 100:4
“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.”
Reflection:
Today, let us focus on gratitude. Gratitude is a cornerstone of our union with God because it helps us remember God’s infinite love for us. Each time we express our thanks, we are reminded of the blessings bestowed upon us by Him.
Thanksgiving:
1. I am thankful for my family who stand as my pillars of strength. I see God’s hand in their unconditional love and support that mirrors His own love for me.
2. I am thankful for my health. Every breath is a gift from God, and every new day is an opportunity to serve Him better.
3. I am thankful for the challenging situations that lead me to trust in Him more deeply. In these trials, I see God’s hand molding me into a better person and drawing me closer to Him.
As we make our way through each day, let’s enter into His gates with thanksgiving as stated in Psalm 100:4. By keeping a gratitude journal, not only are we reminded of His blessings, but we are constantly strengthening our relationship with Him.
Prayer:
Dear Lord,
Thank you for the gift of this day and for all the blessings you’ve given me – big or small, visible or invisible.
Help me to always have a grateful heart that sees your hand in everything.
Draw me closer to you each day as I reflect on your goodness.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen
