Gratitude

As we continue from last week with Scriptural prayers focused on the theme of gratitude, we look to the second of two prayers in which Jesus gave thanks. In Luke 10:21, we see Jesus rejoicing in prayer saying, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes.” Here, Jesus is thanking His Father for His ways—that He reveals Himself to the humble and childlike instead of those who are wise in their own eyes. Friend, have you, like Jesus, thanked God lately simply for who He is and for His good ways? As we approach Thanksgiving, let’s be sure to do just that. Truly, nobody is more deserving of our thanks than Him. Now that’s something to pray about!
