Psalm 92:1 - A THANKSGIVING DEVOTIONAL TO TEACH YOU GRATITUDE.
Psalm 92:1 (KJV) It is good to give thanks
to the LORD.
COMMENTARY PEARL
The Grace of Gratitude
The Pilgrim Fathers who landed at
Plymouth in America in 1620 knew nothing of the
bountiful prosperity that so many people enjoy today.
During that first long winter, seven times as many
graves were made for the dead as homes were built
for the living. Seed, imported from England,
failed to grow, and a ship that was to bring food
and relief, brought thirty-five more mouths to
feed, but not an ounce of provisions. They caught
fish, hunted wild fowl, and venison. They had a
little English meal and some Indian corn.
Yet their lives were marked by a spirit
of constant thankfulness. On one occasion
William Brewster, rising from a scanty Plymouth
dinner of clams and water, gave thanks to God
for the abundance of the sea and the treasures
hid in the sand."
According to today's standards, they had
little; but they possessed a sense of great
gratitude. Gratitude is one of the greatest Christian
graces; ingratitude, one of the most vicious sins.
Ask God to open your eyes to all the blessings
He has bestowed on you, and to give you a fresh
spirit of gratitude - not just at this season of
the year, but always.
An ungrateful heart minimizes Gods
blessings and focuses on what is not provided. The
grace of gratitude is that we no longer see what
is lacking and instead, are in awe that weve
been given so much. [Hope for Each Day by Billy
Graham]
