Powerful Proclamation

One of my favorite things to do at Thanksgiving is to go around the table and have each person say what they are thankful to God for. With ages ranging from 5 to 28, it can get pretty interesting. From legos to life, many different things are shared.

There’s an abundance of blessing that happens when we verbalize our gratefulness and proclaim God’s wonders. We can be grateful in our heads, but when we tell others of the great things He has done, it’s as if we are drawing back curtains and letting His light beam into our hearts to warm us. We were designed to praise Him and proclaim His goodness. When we do, we are blessed beyond measure!

Reflection

Takes some time to make a list of as many blessings as you can that you have from God. Begin sharing some those things with the people God has placed in your life. Take notice of how it impacts your attitude and theirs.

Prayer

Father, You are so good and You bless us abundantly. May we never grow tired of proclaiming Your wonders to others. Fill our hearts with gratitude and our lips with praise. Conform us in the image of Your Son Jesus, Amen!
