Around that same time, Hezekiah became deathly ill and prayed to the LORD, who answered him with a miraculous sign. But Hezekiah was too proud to respond appropriately to the kindness he had received... ~ 2 Chronicles 32:24-25 (CEB)
One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, “Praise God!” He fell to the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done. ~ Luke 17:15-16 (NLT)
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Every response to God should be characterized by gratitude.
PRAYER
Generous God, there is so much for which we should be grateful. But we forget -- I forget -- distracted by the next -- the next need -- the next want -- the desire to push on to the next thing. Could it be that you are slowing us down so we can count our blessings? May it be so -- might the gratitude well up within us so that it overflows and overcomes the indifference around us. Amen.
