ODM Devotional 28 June 2019
TOPIC: THAT BATTLE WILL END IN PRAISE! PURSUE GRATITUDE!
BASIC SCRIPTURES: ROMANS 8:28; 1 THESSALONIANS 5:9-18
Welcome to today’s STORY to GLORY hour with the God whose FOOTSTOOL is the whole earth in line with today’s devotional encounter with the BIG GOD that makes His footstool the earth! What Mr Blake said is insightful: “Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate or value into your life.” Just imagine returning from work late at night and having to wake up very early in the morning from what little sleep you had.

You stumble out of bed, have a quick shower, grab a coffee and some toast, and off you go to fight the traffic on the way to work again. Does that sound like the start of a terrible day? Most would answer, ‘Yes’. Few people however, would answer, ‘No.’ These are the people, who are in my opinion, blessed with a gift – a gift that determines how they view
their lives. These people live with ‘an attitude of gratitude’. Even in winter, he stumbles to his feet and begins his journey to work on his bare feet. His work is in the field of survival. He searches through garbage cans for scraps of half-rotten food to eat and odd bits of clothes to keep him warm. He sees you and begs for a dollar or a penny! The purpose of these examples is to illustrate that No Matter Your Battles Or Conditions, Always Give Thanks (Today’s 2nd scripture)! Be grateful for where you are in life right now because ALL THINGS will work in your favour! Even in times when it seems that nothing could be worse, there is always a reason to be grateful. Life works in mysterious ways.
I challenge you now to take a moment to think about seven things in your life that you- are grateful for! For example, the gift of life, your friends, your family, your job, your sense of smell, touch, sight, and sound. The list can go on and on. Imagine what your life would have been like without these “little” things. Write them down on a piece of paper and really think about the things you are grateful for. Remember: “Feeling grateful or appreciative of something in your life actually attracts more of that thing that you appreciate or value into your life.” Resist depression sorrow!
