But First... Gratitude

Gratitude is not always easy. If we are honest, the last thing we want to do is be thankful in the midst of some of the difficult times we face. However, God’s word reminds us that gratitude is the key ingredient to experiencing His peace.

Philippians 5:6-7 NLT reminds us, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all he has done. Then, you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

We must develop a “FIRST THINGS FIRST” mentality regarding gratitude. Let’s learn how to be people who will thank God First before we see the promise!
