“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” 1 Thessalonians 5:18, KJV.

Look around you. Don’t forget how blessed you are. When we forget, we can become ungrateful, doubtful and surprisingly complacent. Being able to appreciate what God has already done will set your table of faith for what surely is to come. It will set the table for happiness, peace and joy in your life. It will set the table for a heart full of thanks and a mind set on Jesus.

You will remain focused on what truly matters, and that is being a blessing and developing your relationship with God. This all happens when you realize how blessed you are.

Prayer: Father, help me to consider that maybe things aren’t as bad as the enemy pursues to make them out to be. Just maybe I am blessed right where I am. Father forgive me if I’ve been a complaining man looking for the next blessing. I thank You. I pray for others to have Jesus and to have what I have, even their basic needs. Help me to be about what You’re about, which is being a blessing, not looking for one. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
