Our Daily Bread: O Holy Night

In difficult situations, we long more for a change of circumstances than we do a change in ourselves. Surprisingly, changing what’s inside of us by choosing gratitude changes our perspective even if circumstances remain undesirable.  That’s why God tells us to be grateful in all circumstances. Practicing thankfulness is more powerful than we think. In this study, we’ll learn how God uses gratitude to change our lives for the better.


Gratitude: Being Thankful Changes Everything

Of all the things the disciples witnessed as they followed Jesus throughout Galilee and Judea, none was more paradigm-shifting than when they saw Him alive after He had died.

Self-pity slyly whispers that we deserve better. It clouds our thinking until grumbling seems inevitable. But thanking God lifts our gaze. This plan examines Bible characters tempted toward self-pity, Jesus’ sinless victory over a similar situation, and God’s invitation into gratitude and joy. We’ll counter self-pity’s lies like “I’m in this alone,” “I don’t have enough,” and “I’m taken for granted” by celebrating God’s ability, help, provision, honor, and love.
