"I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother's womb. My praise is always for You." Psalm 71:6.
I read a story about an old Cherokee teaching his grandson about life. Grandpa told his grandson, “A fight is going on inside me,’ he said to the boy. ‘It is a terrible fight, and it is between two wolves. One of them is evil; he has anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, ungrateful inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.’ He continued, ‘The other is good, that wolve has joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, grateful, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.’ The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, ‘Which wolf will win?’ The old Cherokee replied, ‘The one you feed.’” — Cherokee legend
Everything in this life is a choice, and we can choose to make good choices or not. You can choose to be a slave to your desires, or you can choose to be free of them. However, I encourage you to free yourself from all these things that are holding you back from living your best life. It is okay to have some doubts, fears, and insecurities, but do not let them stop you from living your best life. There is nothing wrong to acknowledge God; I am grateful to be alive today. Likewise, you have the right to tell God; I am not grateful. Gratitude is a choice; it's up to you which one you choose to give your attention or feed your mind.
Be Grateful is a state of being full of joy and contentment. Gratefulness is one of the most significant habits to have and adore in this life. It is the game changer and can change the way you think and reason with yourself and other people around you. Likewise, "You won’t spend the rest of your life chasing your desires, but you will have the passion for doing the will of God.” 1 Peter 4:2. I am grateful for all the blessings that I have been given.
To be grateful is to find blessings, joy, peace, love, hope, calmness, humility, kindness, care, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith in everything. The greatest gift you can give to yourself is to be thankful for what you have. Philippians 4:4, says, "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will repeat it: Rejoice!" As you start your second half of the year 2019, remember to be thankful for what you have. Don't forget to thank God every day, even if it's just a small thing.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 "Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." I encourage you to give God praise, bow before him with the heart of gratitude. Think of the goodness of God in your life and family, and sing responsively with praise and thanksgiving to the LORD: For He is good; for His lovingkindness upon you endures forever. Psalm 100:5 says, "For the LORD is good, and His loving devotion endures forever; His faithfulness continues to all generations."
Prayer:
1. I am so grateful for your presence. I have been blessed with many wonderful things that I cannot even describe.
2. Lord Jesus Christ almighty! Thank you for being my friend and mentor, Pray about today’s Word as you lead by the Holy Spirit.
3. Our God is a Protocol Breaker, The Rule Changer and Record Breaker; I pray that the rest of the year 2019 shall be filled with good testimony in Jesus name.
