Thankfulness Produces Gratitude to God
Air date: November 28, 2024
Ron: Thanksgiving! No, I mean, thanks for giving.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Did you know that there’s a cycle of gratitude? It goes like this: when you’re grateful for all that God has done for you it changes how you act towards others. I mean a little of your thankfulness can’t help but spill over on those around you in some form of kindness and mercy.
And, then as 2 Corinthians 9 tells us, your generosity results in them giving thanks to God. Men will “praise God” it says because of your obedience and the grace of God evident within you. So, your thankfulness to God produces kindness toward others which produces in them gratitude towards God. Nice. Happy Thanksgiving! For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
