Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ

Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.2 Worship the Lord with gladness;    come before him with joyful songs.3 Know that the Lord is God.    It is he who made us, and we

are his;    we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Psalm 100:1-5

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving    and his courts with praise;    give thanks to him and

praise his name.5 For the Lord is good and

his love endures forever;    his faithfulness continues

through all generations.Psalm 100:1-5

Opposite of entitlement is the forgotten

virtue of

Gratitude

Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance 13 and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!" When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.

LUKE 17:11-18

15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him — and he was a Samaritan. 17 Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18 Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?"

LUKE 17:11-18

There was a man who had two sons. 12 The

younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.'

…'Look! All these years I've been slaving

for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with

my friends.

LUKE 15:29

EXPOSE ANY

UNGRATEFULNESS:

FINANCIAL

RELATIONAL

CIRCUMSTANTIAL

Let us cultivate

an attitude of

gratitude…

DECIDE TO TURN

BLESSINGS INTO PRAISE

EVERY BLESSING YOU POUR OUT I’LL

TURN BACK TO

PRAISE.

EVERY BLESSING

I DON’T TURN BACK TO PRAISE

TURNS INTO PRIDE.

…I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know

what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to

have plenty. I have learned the secret of

being content in any and every situation… I can do everything through him who gives me strength

PHILIPPIANS 4:11-13

Better what the eye sees than the

roving of the appetite.

ECCLESIASTES 6:9

…the cheerful heart has a

continual feast. Better a little with

the fear of the LORD than great

wealth with turmoil.

PROVERBS 15:15-16

Don’t just feel,

gratitude express

it.

Better one handful with

tranquility than two handfuls with toil and

chasing after the wind.

ECCLESIASTES 4:6

Every good and perfect gift is from above…

JAMES 1:17

Gratitude makes poor people rich.

Ungratefulness makes

rich people poor.
