DEVELOPING A THANKFUL HEART


How To Develop A Thankful Heart

•Perform A Heart Exam

PSALM 139:22-23

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;

test me and know my anxious thoughts.

24 Point out anything in me that offends you,

and lead me along the path of everlasting

life.




•Check Your Expectations

LUKE 9:46

46 Then his disciples began arguing about which

of them was the greatest.

NOTABLE QUOTE

Yes, give thanks for "all things" for, as it has been

well said "Our disappointments are but His

appointments."

Author: A.W. Pink




•Look At Your Expectations

•Check Your Vision

VISION FOCUSED ON SELF IS PRIDE

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he

shall lift you up.—James 4:10

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty

hand of God, that he may exalt you in due

time:—1 Peter 5:6

NOTABLE QUOTE

Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray

that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray.

Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and

keep us engaged with Him; it will take our

attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room

in our hearts.
