As this year is drawing to a close, I am once again reminded about the importance of practicing gratitude. Thankfulness/gratitude is a recurrent theme in the Word, mentioned 106 times in the Old Testament and 72 times in the New Testament. In fact, it’s one of the few specific things that we’re told is His will for us (1 Thess. 5:16-18). I’ve found that it’s easier for me to be grateful when I write down my prayers in a journal – otherwise, I forget what I’ve asked for and don’t notice His answers!
So, let’s take a moment to reflect upon this year and thank Him for His goodness.
