Grateful for Life

Reading Verse: Exodus 26:1-37

“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”

Hebrews 13:5 

In our everyday life, we get so much involved in our daily routines and we are so busy that sometimes we can’t enjoy life that God has given. And in the end we tend to complain easily, especially in troubles or failures. As a matter of fact, when we think about it, life is beautiful and God has beautiful plans for us and we should be thankful for that. It is not always easy to go through this life, but we have to be grateful regardless. Why? Because God is always with us, He never leaves us, and His guidance is perfect. So when in troubles or failures, never give up. Keep believing and be grateful because God is always with us. It is written in Hebrews 13:5 that never will He leave us.

We should be grateful because He has already set a good plan for us. Although we are not in a good situation now, don’t give up, trust that God’s beautiful plan will prevail. Job 42:2 says that God can do all things, and none of His purpose fails. Let all of us can surrender all to God’s plan.

We also should be thankful to God because God’s love endures forever and is always new in our life. Everyday God pours out His blessings upon us. When we feel disappointed, believe that His love is able to restore our heart and heal our situation. His overflowing love will give us joy and peace.

When we are able to walk through life with a thankful heart, we will feel peace and joy more easily. We will also feel His love pouring in our life. God’s heart will be pleased when we stay grateful.

No matter what we are going through today, don’t focus on the problem; learn to be thankful and joyful. Believe that the best will always happen in our life. No beautiful thing can compare our living with a grateful heart. Amen.

We should be grateful because He already set a good plan for us.
