Ungratefulness

God had consistently provided for His people, but they refused to see what He had done, and they showed no interest in thanking Him. Ungratefulness is a common human fault. 

For example, when was the last time you thanked your parents for caring for you ? your pastor for the service he gives your church ? your child's teacher for the care taken care with each day's activities ? your Heavenly Father for His guidance ? 

Many of the benefits and the privileges we enjoy are the results of loving actions done long ago. Look for hidden acts of nurturing , and thank those who make the world better through their love. 

But begin by thanking God for all His blessings.

Be Sure Your Brain Is Engaged Before Your Mouth Is In Gear

Proverbs 3:1-3

"My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart." - Proverbs 3:1-3

Philippians 1:28

"Without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you.

This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved - and that by God." - Philippians 1:28

Romans 10:9

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." - Romans 10:9

Have you ever been asked, "How do I become a Christian ?" This verse gives you a beautiful answer----Salvation is as close as your own mouth and heart.

People think it must be a complicated process, but it is not. 


If we believe in our hearts and say with our mouths that Christ is the risen Lord, we will be saved.

Luke 14:11

"For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted" - Luke 14:11

Proverbs 11:9

"With his mouth the godless destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous escape." - Proverbs 11:9

The mouth can be used either as a weapon or a tool, hurting relationships or building them up. 

Sadly, it is often easier to destroy than to build, and most people have recieved more destructive comments than those that build up.

Every person you meet today is either a demolition site or construction opportunity. Your words will make a difference.

Will they be weapons for destruction or tools for construction ?
