THANKFUL

PSALM 136:3-4 (MSG)
Thank God! He deserves your thanks... Thank the miracle-working God. His love never quits.

LUKE 17:15-16 (ABP)
One of the healed men, upon realizing what had happened, returned to Jesus shouting praises to God. He dropped to the ground in front of him and thanked Jesus profusely for what he had done. The irony is that this one grateful man was a Samaritan -- a despised religious and social outcast -- the one least expected to respond.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Don't neglect to thank God.

PRAYER
God, your love never quits. Your miracles never stop. Forgive me for getting so caught up in the drama of life that I regularly neglect to express my gratitude. Foster within me a thankful heart so that my first response is to return to you with words of praise. Even if no one else thinks it important I want to be the thankful one. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
