Gratitude Begins with God’s Goodness

Psalm 107:1 (NIV)
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.”

True gratitude starts not with blessings—but with belief. Belief that God is good, no matter what. I watched my son Caleb battle cancer with a heart that still thanked God. Even when his body was failing, his faith was firm. He wasn’t grateful because things were easy. He was grateful because he knew who God was. That kind of gratitude can’t be shaken.

Even today, around the world, people in war zones or poverty still thank God. Why? Because they’ve discovered what we all must—gratitude anchored in God's goodness outlasts every storm.

Reflect: What’s one attribute of God that you’re grateful for today? Praise Him for it—regardless of what you're going through.
