Levítico 7:12

We’re all tempted to grumble about frustrations and disappointments, but the Bible reminds us of the many reasons to be grateful. Giving thanks helps us recognize God’s gifts and rejoice in the Giver. Spend the next week immersing yourself in Bible verses encouraging us why and how we can give thanks. But don’t settle for only learning about thanksgiving, practice it as each devotional prompts ways to give thanks.

This seven-day plan shares the importance of individual and shared memory in our practice of gratitude. Through powerful acts of remembrance such as communion, prayer, and Scripture reading, we remember the goodness of God and His faithfulness that was, is and is to come.

This seven-day plan outlines simple habits that lead to a life of gratitude. Whether it's training our tongue to say thanks or learning daily habits to increase gratefulness, this plan will boost your awareness of the goodness around you and help you live a life of gratitude.

Many believers, even after putting their faith in Christ, still live under the weight of guilt and condemnation. They remain unsure of their acceptance before God. They do not understand that faith in Christ brings the righteousness of God as a gift. So they continue to search for means to earn righteousness. Yet righteousness is not a reward to achieve, but a gift to receive. If you struggle with guilt, shame and condemnation, these reflections will help you see how the gift of righteousness enables you to live above guilt and above the power of sin.
