It’s easy to spend so much time looking at what’s wrong that we miss what God is doing right in front of us.
We complain about the long day, the difficult season, the unexpected setback, or the unanswered prayer. But gratitude changes our perspective. It reminds us that even when life isn’t perfect, God is still faithful.
The truth is, there will always be flaws to focus on. There will always be something we wish was different. But there is also always something to thank God for.
Today, don’t let what is missing keep you from appreciating what God has already provided.
“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Take a moment today to thank God for where you are, not just where you hope to be.
