We should give God thanks for His many blessings…

On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” When he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed. Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”...Luke 17:11-19.

 

How many Christians take for granted blessings coming from God? There were ten lepers cleansed and only one gave thanks to the source. Many of us give credit to the doctors and not to God or as is has been said God does the healing and the doctor collects the fee. Perhaps we should be like this outcast among outcasts…a leper was an outcast but to also be a Samaritan was double trouble, yet his heart declared gratitude and honor to the source of His cleansing and healing. May we all give God thanks for the miracles and blessings in our lives.

 

Prayer

Father thank you for the times in my life where you have healed me, comforted me  and thanks you for being a blessing to me in so many ways, please meet our soul’s deepest need for a heart of gratitude and forgive me of the times I have not been grateful for the things in my life…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
