I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people. Psalm 35:18 (NKJV)
A thankful life is a fulfilling one, and we all know, Gratitude is the best attitude. GOD greatly emphasizes the principle of thankfulness, as it develops contentment, peace, and happiness in our life.
The opposite of being thankful is to be a complainer or a person who constantly grumbles. It is inbuilt human nature to, complain about everything, for eg, even when the husband is doing his best to take care of the family, the wife is unhappy and discontented. when the parents are trying their best to provide for the children, the teenage kids feel, they don’t have enough compared to their friends, or at a job we feel, our fellow employees are doing better in their life than us.
We observe that there is a constant comparison that is happening, which is leading to grumbling and complaining, instead of being thankful. Hence the key ingredient to being thankful is to STOP COMPARING YOUR LIFE WITH OTHERS. We are who GOD has created us to be, and everything we possess is a GOD-given blessing. Someone will always have better things and better people in their life, that doesn’t mean we are any less, GOD has sufficiently equipped us for our race.
So, let us put effort towards being thankful today because A thankful heart is happy and at peace.
