“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5
Ungrateful people tend to complain and are nitpicky about everything. They complain about everything, never seem to enjoy life, and always want more. God’s word repeatedly implores us to “give thanks” in all things. Colossians 3:15; 1 Thessalonians 5:18; Psalm 100:4
Developing a grateful heart is an important part in the growth of a Christian. God’s grace enables all believers to give thanks in all things (2 Corinthians 4:15).
Regardless of the pain or problems we face in this life, each of us has something for which to be thankful. i.e.: roof over our head, clothes to wear, food to eat, family, life itself. God is good all the time whether we are willing to admit it or not.
Even in and through our darkest trial, God is working things out for our good and His eternal glory. By faith, we can have a grateful heart in all circumstances.
Take time to think of all the ways God has been good to you!
