TOPIC: DON’T BE AN INGRATE 7: Show God Gratitude Always
Memory Verse: Ps.78:11
“11 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.”
Bible Reading: Deut. 8:17-18
“17 then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’
18 “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.”
Every man is made by God, placed by God and lifted by God. Men are just God’s instruments to achieve all these. No one can be without God. He is the ‘God of arrangy’, so He deserves our uttermost gratitude always. You need to be grateful to men also, but God is the ultimate of all lifting. Where are you on the ladder of life? Identify God as your promoter and not your work or effort. King David said in 2 Sam. 6:21-23.
“21 So David said to Michal, “It was before the LORD, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel. Therefore I will play music before the LORD. 22 And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor.” 23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.”
David made it know that his lifting is from above and not from men and he has to return all the glory back to God anyhow he feels he can make it possible.
Stop claiming God’s glory over your life, it’s a sign of being an ingrate to God. God spoke to the Israelite not to be ingrates after His blessings over them. When you are enjoying that desires of yours, remember to return the glory back to God. Also remember every vessel God uses for you and lastly, be grateful by helping others to live. Choose to be grateful to God and Men.
