Be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Hebrews 12:28 ESV

A heart that walks in grace and gratitude will experience God’s power for following in every season and circumstance.

Complaining or having a grumpy attitude, will short circuit your best efforts at following God!

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil. Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 ESV

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others. Cicero

It happened that as he made his way toward Jerusalem, he crossed over the border between Samaria and Galilee. Luke 17:11 MSG

The shortest path to God’s purpose is always through God’s will.

Resentment and bitterness are not just the long way, they’re the wrong way!

As he entered a village, ten men, all lepers, met him. They kept their distance but raised their voices, calling out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” Luke 17:12-13 MSG

Jesus isn’t afraid to walk into your mess or mine.

When he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed. Luke 17:14 ESV

When the Lord gives you instruction, direction, or correction, don’t argue, obey.

Obedience is a necessary step for breakthrough, but it’s Jesus who makes it happen.

One of them, when he realized that he was healed, turned around and came back, shouting his gratitude, glorifying God. He kneeled at Jesus’ feet, so grateful. He couldn’t thank him enough. He was a Samaritan. Jesus said, “Were not ten healed? Where are the nine? Can none be found to come back and give glory to God except this foreigner?” Luke 17:15-18 MSG

Glad comes from focusing on the gift, grateful comes from focusing on the giver!

If you walk in grace before your breakthrough, you’re more likely to walk in gratitude after it.

Then he said to him, “Get up. On your way. Your faith has healed and saved you.” Luke 17:19 MSG
