(1 Thessalonians 5:18) "...in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.”
When we allow ourselves to slip into self-pity and allow input from a critical spirit, we are speaking the devil's language and, as such, victims of the evil one. The Bible confirms that he is 'the accuser of the brethren and the origin of rebellion against GOD'.
So when we complain about our problems, we show ingratitude toward GOD by speaking the serpent’s native tongue. That being the case, his venom is already at work, poisoning our hearts!
I know from the accompanying prayer list that there are some of us going through horrible problems right now, mental, physical and spiritual... and for those who know me personally, you'll know that I'm not encouraging you as someone who hasn't struggled himself.
Therefore, as my wife constantly reminds me, we can always turn our ungrateful hearts around by finding reasons to thank GOD. Because, as GOD's Word says, "We can be thankful that ALL THINGS work together for our good if we belong to Him." (Romans 8:28)
Please pray with me, "Lord, please forgive and heal me from my grumblings. Help me to thank you for the gift of life, for the beauty of creation, and for the love and support I have in my family and friends. Please turn me around and fill my heart with Your Joy and Peace as I learn to give thanks to You in ALL my circumstances because I choose to believe Your Word that "All things work together for good because I belong to You!"
