TRUE VIRTUE

Gratitude is the door to God’s presence. 

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. Psalm 100:4 NKJV

Gratitude brings freedom. 

“But I will sacrifice to You with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.” So the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land. Jonah 2:9-10 NKJV 

But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed. Acts 16:25-26 NKJV

Gratitude is a daily choice.

"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” Col. 4:2

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Phil 4:6

Choosing gratitude means letting go of something else.

 "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thess. 5:18
