Tag: What the Bible says about being grateful

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-23-25

Luke 17:17-19 (LSB) 17 Then Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine—where are they? 18 Was there no one found who turned back to give glory to God, except this foreigner?” 19 And He said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.”

Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine—where are they?

I remember reading this many years ago and having the significance of it really hit home for the first time.

Jesus had just healed ten lepers. And only one took the time to thank Him.

The other nine literally ran off to show themselves to the priests but had not bothered to thank the One who had given them this incredible gift of healing.

They had gone from unclean (leprous) to clean (healed) in a split second yet failed to give honor to the One who made that happen.

This is a valuable lesson that we can learn from.

It is not spiritually deep. It does not require powerful discernment. And it does not require high levels of Biblical knowledge.

It just requires a grateful, thoughtful heart that is willing to take a moment to say thank you.

Are we guilty of the same behavior as the nine? Do we forget to say thank you, whether to God or to a person who helps us?

Let us be conscious of this and be sure to honor God by doing what is right, and expressing our gratitude, even for the smallest of things 🙏

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-28-24

Psalm 9:1 (NKJV) 1 I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.

Sometimes during our busy daily lives, we just need to be reminded of simpler things.

Learning of the mysteries of God is important. In fact, it is critical for us to know and understand these deeper things.

But simply praising God and expressing our gratitude to Him is equally important.

David had a special relationship with God, and he was not afraid to express his adoration for and his gratitude to Him.

As parents, we all know the satisfaction that comes when we hear our children say “thank you” or show their gratitude in some other way.

Our relationship with our heavenly Father is no different.

God is not a man, requiring the emotional affirmation of our words. But our praise pleases Him. And expressing it is good for us!

It is important for us to cast off the heaviness of the world, and the cares of our earthly lives. Expressing our praise and thanks to God is the perfect way to do that!

No matter what we may be facing today, no matter how heavy the burden may feel, let us shake off the weight of it as we praise Him, the One who created us, breathed life into our lungs, and gave our hearts the beat that keeps us alive.

Why? Because He alone is worthy!

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-8-16

Numbers 11:5-6 (NKJV) 5 We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; 6 but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!”

God delivered the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and led them into freedom.

They watched as God parted the Red Sea and they walked across, with the ocean being held up on either side of them. And then they witnessed the entire Egyptian army being swallowed up by that very same ocean, as God released the waters and allowed them to fill in that very area where they had just crossed safely.

And as they woke each morning, they saw the ground covered with manna, bread from heaven that had fallen while they slept.

God provided for them in every way conceivable. He fed them. He kept them clothed. And he protected them from the sun and the darkness.

And yet, despite everything that they saw God do, they complained. They grew impatient and demanded that God send them meat, for they were tired of manna.

Wow! God was feeding them every day by His hand. A true miracle. Yet they grew tired of it and became ungrateful.

How about us? Have we become tired of anything that God has done for us? Have we become complacent or unappreciative? Are we complaining about what He has done for us or blessed us with?

Maybe it’s time for us to check ourselves and take inventory of all that God has done. And maybe in doing so we will be reminded of things that we had actually forgotten about or have begun to take for granted.

We might not have everything that we’d like to have. There may still be things that we want. But we should never reach a point of being ungrateful for what we already have. And if we have, let’s repent and ask God to touch our hearts and ask God to forgive us and give us a renewed sense of thankfulness and gratefulness.
