This week I’m rerunning a few of my older posts. Regardless of where we are, thankfulness is important. May you experience a fresh sense of thankfulness this week.

Ever had a season where you just couldn’t dig deep to find a reason to be thankful? I bet we all have. Here are a few verses that really put it in context…

Colossians 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

 Colossians 2:6-7 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

 Colossians 4:2-3 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.

 Hebrews 12:28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,

 If we let Christ’s peace rule in our lives, I imagine thankfulness is a natural result. How can we not be thankful when we see all He has done for us. If we devote ourselves to prayer, how can we not be transformed to see the world and our circumstances as Christ sees them? And if we understand the kingdom we stand to inherit, how can we do anything but give thanks? So what are some of your favorite verses on thankfulness?
