Life's Happening Devotional

Gratitude Is The Best Attitude


Listen Later

David, in our Psalm today, declared that he will give God thanks, and he will not only give God thanks, but he will do so in the great assembly. In other words, he will publicly give God thanks!

He's thanking God for deliverance and for hearing his prayers. What I love about David is the fact that he knows who to run to when he's having a bad day or when he's having a great day. He always goes to God, and he always gives thanks. No wonder God's hands were upon his life because gratitude releases the hand of the giver. Sometimes, we forget to thank God for all his goodness because we are in a season of testing and temptations. David's been there, but David used praise and Thanksgiving as a weapon against the enemy in his mind.

Worry is an enemy of our progress. Instead of worrying, David was thankful; he worried less because of his attitude of gratitude. He says, "O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: Make known his deeds among the people." Psalm 105:1 KJV. Paul picked up on this attitude of gratitude; he had much reason to complain like we all do today, but instead of being depressed, and overwhelmed Paul says, in everything give thanks..." (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

The best way to always give gratitude to God is to remember: look back over your life and see where he brought you from. David said, "Remember his marvelous works that he hath done; His wonders..." Psalm 105:5 KJV. As I write this devotional and ponder over my life and how God's been good to me, I need to show him more gratitude. God's been consistent all throughout my life, and today, I am thankful. Family, remember and think back at the goodness of God. Give him thanks for all his goodness, and have an attitude of gratitude today; you will have one of the best days ever in your life.
