JEREMIAH 30:18-20. ESV.
\”Thus says the LORD: Behold, I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob and have compassion on his dwellings; the city shall be rebuilt on its mound, and the palace shall stand where it used to be.
Out of them shall come songs of thanksgiving, and the voices of those who celebrate. I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will make them honored, and they shall not be small.
Their children shall be as they were of old, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all who oppress them.
Having a gratitude mindset means having the inner power to be unbreakably upbeat, positive and thankful at all times even when life gives you reason not to be thankful, be grateful still to small favors whether of the past or of the present.
What if your mindset is one of the biggest source of negativity in your life? Your best bet and the quickest way of having solution to mindset negativity is by training to develop a gratitude mindset.
Let go off the people who dull your shine, poison your spirit and bring down your morale . It is a known fact that we should strive to distance ourselves from negative people because the scripture says “You should not be deceive bad manners corrupt good manners …” When your mindset becomes the major cause of the negative thoughts, the Bible says Renew your mind, in Romans 12:2 \”Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect\’.
The more grateful you are the greater you will be in the thought of your mind. For every benefit we enjoy from the Lord, He expects us to return thanksgiving back to Him. Gratitude creates more room for blessings.
in our today’s reading the Bible says when gratitude proceeds from them , then He will bless their children and this is what is called trans generational blessings. This was the blessings Abraham enjoyed when God said to Abraham “In you all nations shall be Bless”.
When you show God gratitude by sacrifice, He establishes you beyond measures; that was what put king Solomon ahead of his contemporaries. God says when you show Him gratitude, He will take your battles away from you and He will punish your haters. It worked for Abraham and it also worked for Jephiter and I’m sure it will work for you too.
It takes gratitude to reach altitude, we should show gratitude to God through our verbal expression when He does a good thing for us. Psalm “And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!” (Psalms 107:22, )
we can appreciate God and show gratitude through singing, dancing and through praises
I will praise the name of God with a song,And will magnify Him with thanksgiving.
-Psalms 69 : 30
we can also thank and show gratitude to God through dancing without actually speaking but your heart is experiencing an unexplainable joy you burst out laughing and dancing to a tune only you can hear and understand.
In Exodus 15: 19-21 the bible said Miriam danced for joy because God delivered Israelites from their slave masters the Egyptians and helped them to overcome the oppressive tyrants that wanted to stop their journey to the promised land.
Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for laying an abundance life style which can not be taking away from you.
The physical expression of praise is the key to practicing gratitude and thanks giving to God Almighty. We must learn to show our gratitude to God at all times in time of plenty and in time of famines Thanks For Reading, Be Blessed.
