Hello November....
This month, you will be challenged you to demonstrate "An Attitude of Gratitude".
Google defines gratitude as: the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.
Notice that the second part of that definition indicates that we are ready to show appreciation for and return kindness. I think this definition is biblically based.
Psalms 100 is a Song of Thankfulness:
Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.
Only five verses, Psalms 100 packs an awful lot of action. Reflect on these action words: shout, serve, come, singing, enter, know, be thankful, and bless. Though the object of our action is God, the delivery of those actions will be towards God and man.
Attitude of Gratitude Challenge
For the next 30 days AWOGI challenges you to begin each day by writing down at least 1 thing that you are grateful for along with a specific action to return the kindness.
As we become more conscious of what God has done for us, our attitude and mindset will begin to change. At first, we might have to work hard to complete the action, but it will become easier after a week or so.
Starting today I encourage you to pray for "An Attitude of Gratitude" and be ready to demonstrate your gratefulness to God through serving others.
