May God's blessings in our lives be vehicles for Praising God not obstacles to it.
Action Steps: How do I cultivate an attitude of Gratitude?
1. Count your blessings: literally. Homework: write out 1 blessing for every year of your life.
2. Talk about your blessings vs. complaining. 1 week challenge
3. Preach the Gospel to yourself. (Deut 6:20ff)
Final Thought: Deuteronomy 6- 20 “When your son asks you in time to come, ‘What is the meaning of the testimonies and the statutes and the rules that the Lord our God has commanded you?’ 21 then you shall say to your son, ‘We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt. And the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 22 And the Lord showed signs and wonders, great and grievous, against Egypt and against Pharaoh and all his household, before our eyes.23 And he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in and give us the land that he swore to give to our fathers. 24 And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as we are this day. 25 And it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to do all this commandment before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.’
