Grace + Glory: 7 Days of Experiencing God's Astounding Generosity From Louie GiglioSample

Gratitude Drives a Victorious Heart

If I were to ask you what you are grateful for, what quickly comes to mind? Maybe you would name some people in your life. Or your job, your home, your health. But how often do you practice gratitude for God's faithfulness and His mercy?

It's no secret that you'll face trials and difficult circumstances. You might be facing some today.

But no matter what you're facing, you can shift how you approach your days. If you take on the attitude of Jesus, you quickly begin to see opportunities for gratitude instead of grumbling. You can say, "I am in Christ, and Christ is in me. I am a brand-new creation. Christ is the victor, and I am walking in all the victory Jesus has won for me."

Your new mindset reminds you that God is faithful. You begin to practice gratitude for God's goodness toward you. Your circumstances don't get the final word. True to His promise, God already gave you the victory. So rejoice! Thank Him for His faithfulness and commit to practicing gratitude today.

Prayer

Let my heart say a hundred times today, "Thanks be to God!" Over and over again, let gratitude move my spirit toward victory.
