MAKE THANKSGIVING A REGULAR HABIT (Tuesday, 3rd November 2026)
Text for Today: Ps. 92:1-15 “For you Lord have made me glad through your work; I will triumph in the works of your hands.” (vs. 4).
It is only the things that we do consistently that will produce amazing results, and that tells you the power of consistency. Many of us understand the power of having a grateful spirit, but we don’t do it more often. We quite know the benefits of giving thanks through an immediate perspective change, but we fail to make it a regular habit. But overlooking the long-term benefit of giving thanks frequently is easy to do. Beloved, when we embrace being thankful as a daily discipline, then as challenging circumstances arise, we are empowered in the practice of choosing to give thanks. If we are accustomed to looking for the positive each day, then on the hard days, our habits of seeking the good will kick in.
Beloved, one of the ways by which you can remain a grateful child perpetually is to always reflect on the past for glimpses of God’s work. If you haven’t been in the habit of keeping a tangible record of thanks and you find yourself overwhelmed with the tough circumstances, looking back at how God delivered you in the past is one simple way of finding joy in the moment. I often think about an answered prayer or a changed situation and I realize God’s wonderful work in my life. The memory of what He has done provides hope for the moment, as well as for the future. When David stood before Goliath, he simply brought back the memory of what God did for him while he was tending his father’s flock. That singular memory gave him great hope that Goliath will go the same way of the bear that came after the flock.
You are a Champion!
Further Study: Ps. 103:1-22.

QUOTE: “THE MEMORY OF WHAT HE HAS DONE PROVIDES HOPE FOR THE MOMENT, AS WELL AS FOR THE FUTURE.”
