Jim's Devotional - November 9th

For what are you thankful today?

Why is being thankful so powerful?

Being thankful helps people refocus on what they have instead of what they lack. And, although it may feel contrived at first, this mental state grows stronger with use and practice.

David wrote in Psalm 9:1, “A psalm of David. I will give thanks to you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.”

When we not only meditate on God’s greatness but tell others of the mighty acts that He has done, the Holy Spirit does a work in our lives. Our outlook becomes brighter. Our attitude becomes more like the attitude of Jesus. We become more pleasant in every area of our lives.

Go ahead, find one thing that God has done for you and share it with someone. See what the Lord does.
