Thankful: Part 1 – Thanksgiving Lifestyle
Because of our sinful human nature, we are so very prone to whining, complaining, grumbling, lashing out, blaming God and blaming others for the struggles and inconveniences we endure. This may be common among unbelievers, but there is no place for this bad attitude among the regenerate. If you are a New Creation as the Bible declares that you are, you ought to have the mind and attitude of Jesus. Paul says that we need to be rejoicing always, praying continually and giving thanks in all circumstances, because this is the will of God. There are no excuses for a bad attitude. A thanksgiving-lifestyle is what we are called to. The good news is that science has proven that grateful people are at the minimum 25% happier and we are told are all-round healthier people. Rejoice, give thanks and enjoy good health!
