It is easy in time of crisis and pandemic to listen to the voices of fear and feel afraid of loss, lack and poverty. In times of abundance, it is also easy to lose sight of the blessings God brings by taking for granted the simple and everyday provision of food, clothing & shelter. So what is required of us to ensure abundance? What is necessary for us to obtain blessings from God? Gratitude. Having joy in our hearts for all the good God brings us and being thankful for that provision is highly necessary for our success in life and attract more success. Complainers and whiners do not get very far in the Kingdom of God. God spells this out clearly in Deut 28: 47-48, “Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joyfulness and gladness of heart, because of the abundance of all things, therefore you shall serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger and thirst, in nakedness, and lacking everything. And he will put a yoke of iron on your neck until he has destroyed you.”
We Need To be Grateful
