Your thanksgiving indicates what you are becoming. If you do not think, you will not thank; thanksgiving comes from memory and reflection. Paul declared, “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,” showing us that Spirit-led thinking generates Spirit-led thanking (Phil. 1:3, KJV). David sat down before the Lord and enumerated God’s mercies one by one (1 Chr. 17:16–27). I want to see you develop that kind of richness. When you look back on what you have done, and who you did it with, thanksgiving becomes substance, substance, and reality. Shallow minds do not thank because they never stay long enough to discern grace clearly.
Thanksgiving also indicates that you are not self-centred. A thankful man focuses on others by giving; a self-centred man puts himself into the centre of every narrative. Gratitude decentres the self and re-centres God and people He used. Furthermore, not thanking is robbery. If you get an act of grace and do not express gratitude, you have stolen something even more precious than money — the dignity properly belonging to the giver.
Thanksgiving is not simply etiquette; it is righteousness at work in relationships.
Another last-days attack of the devil is to eliminate “thank you” from our dictionary. Few children learn to speak it, and few adults have the time to mean it. Thanksgiving makes you human; it keeps your conscience soft toward God and man. If you get through a lengthy period without thanking anybody, your soul becomes numb. Resist that hardness. Practice seeing the goodness of God in “little” things — a safe trip, a good phone call, a door that closed for your protection. Keep track of answers to prayer. Give immediate thanks to those who prayed your hands up. The more you think, the more you will thank; the more you thank, the more complete you are.”
THOUGHT TO PONDER: Whose kindness have I treated as ordinary — and how will I return today to say a thoughtful “thank you”? What habits will keep my heart reflective, so gratitude remains my lifestyle?
Lord, deliver me from ingratitude. Keep me thoughtful, others-aware, and quick to return with thanks to You and to those You used. Make gratitude my habit, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
