PSALM 107:1


It seems the more people have the less thankful they become, now these are not just words but the story of Willis Henry, when I  drove  and lived in the some of the finest homes and had expensive watches an other toys, I believed in God but I didn't really need him because I had  the things I needed.Today complaints are abundant, but thanks being given to God is few. Being thankful is not optional for a Christian. If it was
impossible, God would not have told us to do it. So, why are people not thankful?  Gratitude is a mark of maturity. Ingratitude is a mark of immaturity. Babies are never thankful. Neither are proud people thankful. Why? Because their mindset is that they deserve not just everything they have, but even better. "Why be thankful for something less than what you deserve?" describes their thinking. A funny thing you will notice if you consider it: un-thankful people are never happy. In fact, the more thankful a person is, the happier they are. You will not be bothered with depression if you act on the Word of God and "be thankful." The cure for unhappiness is being thankful. Try it. But how can you overcome the bad habit of ingratitude? Only by
changing your core beliefs. As long as you believe you are getting a raw deal, or less than you deserve, you will never become a thankful person But if you realize that you deserved punishment and eternal
separation from God  yet in His mercy God instead gave you what He deserved, and EVERYTHING you have including every breath you breathe  is a gift then you will become a thankful person.





1 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever (Psalm 107:1).
