Give thanks whatever happens.That is what God wants for you in Christ Jesus.—1 Thessalonians 5:18 (ICB)
The alarm clock goes off and you bolt out of bed like a racehorse. You dash to the kitchen, wolf down some breakfast, and then it’s out the door. You run, run, run through your day . . .
Slow down! Did you yawn and stretch and thank Me for a healthy body that can get out of bed? Did you peek outside and see that beautiful sunrise I made for you? Did you thank Me for the food you ate? Or the home you live in? Or the people who love you?
Don’t be so rushed that you forget to notice the blessings I fill your day with. Stop for a moment. Enjoy. Thank Me. Thankfulness not only pleases Me, but it also protects you from thoughts that make you sad. When you’re thankful for the blessings all around you, you feel much happier. So slow down—and give thanks! Colossians 4:2
