“Not as the world gives do I give to you.”
Do not be deceived! If you’re looking to the world to make your life better in 2021, you’ve already missed the mark! The world will NEVER be able to give you peace. Never!
Learn to be grateful for the ‘now’!
God decided to save you.
“He has delivered us”
Does this ever get old??? How could it?
“rooted and built up in him”
Christ Jesus is the foundation of all that we are, all that we are grateful for, ala – “For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ”(1Co 3:11).
Col 4:2 [Amplified]
Be persistent and devoted to prayer, being alert and focused in your prayer life with an attitude of thanksgiving.
Lk 11:8-9
“I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs. So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
The Answer To Your Prayer Is…Pray Some More!
If you’re struggling right now with maintaining an attitude of gratitude, then PRAY!
Perspective This Day
The holy, sovereign God of the Universe, Creator of all things, has adopted you into His personal family. Not a single person, thing, or circumstance will ever steal you from His embrace. How’s that for something to be grateful for???

I appeal to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship.

A family without discipline is a cursed family.
The Value of Discipline in the Family
The earlier you establish sound discipline in the family, the happier and more peaceful your family will be in the long run. The Spirit wants us to know what a godly family structure looks like so that we can model our own after it, and be blessed!
Teaching Us Love
God uses godly families to teach children about His love, from a practical perspective. The divine institutions of marriage and family are actually the platforms God uses to teach others about His love. Godly families aren’t necessarily the end goal; rather, they are the vehicle – the context for love to shine.
The Value of Family
There’s an intrinsic goodness that blankets a godly family that is unmistakably a blessing from God designed to encourage such families to persist in the faith.
