We have all used the expression T.G.I.F. – “Thank God It’s Friday!” Now, let’s truly put it into practice. Since today is Friday, what are you thankful to God for today?
It’s good to pause a moment and consider the ways God has been working in our lives. It’s so easy to dwell on all those unresolved issues or niggling worries. A thankful heart brings us back to a spirit filled with faith. And that pleases God.
Let’s think about just three things we are grateful to the Lord for. Ready? Jot those down and praise God for them. You can even make your list a prayer.
While you are thinking, here’s my brief list:
- Lord, You got me out of bed today – and I woke up refreshed! Thank You for being ever watchful over me as I sleep and as I go about my day.
- Thanks, God, for opportunities to share my heart and ideas through writing. I thank You for every idea You have given me and the discipline to see it carried to completion. That’s all from You!
- In this season of major transition, Lord, You have been my Provider more than I ever knew that You could be. Thanks so much for Your care and faithfulness as You open the next door in my destiny walk with You.
The Bible tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, “ in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (NASB).
Let’s do as God’s Word encourages us to do. In fact, let’s make every day T.G.I.T. – “Thank God It’s Today!”
