Saturday, July 27, 2024Key Verse

Text — Luke 17:11-19
Message
It was C. Neil Stralt who said, “He who forgets the language of gratitude can never be on speaking terms with happiness.” Those who demonstrate this wonderful attitude are always appreciated. Gratitude opens the doors to more favours and blessings. Ten lepers had the rare privilege of meeting the Lord Jesus Christ and receiving their healing when they obeyed Him. It was a time of joy for the outcasts. Nine of them were so carried away with their miracles that they forgot the Source and the Giver. On the other hand, one of them thoughtfully remembered that the miracle was divine and returned to show his gratitude to the Lord.
Develop the attitude of gratitude. The good things we receive freely from the Lord must never be taken for granted. We need to show appreciation. Remember to thank God for His protection, provision, presence, preservation, and prosperity. Also, learn to show appreciation for the favors you receive from others. Ingrates will always find it difficult to make a headway in life.
