Grateful for the Gift of Life – Steve Kruger

by Alex

We should be grateful to God for allowing us the experience to wake up to the freshness of each new day. It’s so easy to complain and whine about our troubles and difficulties. While suffering is part of life and we want to acknowledge the pain that is present, we need to maintain a grateful heart towards God. Psalm 107:1 states “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, and His love endures forever.”

It is not always easy to maintain a grateful heart, but God assures us that He will never leave us. Joshua 1:9 states “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” While our lives are not perfect and full of challenges, the good news is that we are still here. I encourage you to remain hopeful by giving thanks to God for the gift of each new day He gives you to serve Him and those around you.
