Watch Your MouthUzorak

Thanking God is essential and it is His will that children of covenant give thanks to him. God is worthy and deserving of our praise, because he is good, loving, faithful, gracious, forgiving, and merciful.  We must watch our mouths when trials, tribulations, and life’s challenges come and our emotions want to negatively express our perspective regarding our current circumstance. We don’t want to be set back. We want to be propelled further in the purposes and plans of God.

This doesn’t mean to disregard the trials and valleys you will experience, but it does mean to continuously thank God for his authority, love, and ability to guide you through the uncomfortable, uncertain times in your life.

Thank God for his provision in your life when circumstances appear hopeless.

Thank God for supplying all your needs and don’t complain about what you don’t have.

Thank God for his promises coming to fruition in your life even when they seem to tarry.

Thank God for his love despite how others have treated you.

Thank God for his loving correction and guidance despite how some may have harshly criticized you.

Thank God for where you are in life because he is guiding you.

Thank God for health, strength, wholeness, and blessings.

Thank God for loving you so much that he cares about your present and future God-honoring relationships.

Thank Jesus for redeeming you and serving as your advocate.

Thank God that all things are working together for your good.

Thank God for lovingly receiving you when others rejected you.

No matter what is going on in your life, aim to thank God for his goodness and love.

Watch your mouth!
