Pause: A Month of Gratitude in Five Minutes a DaySample

Proclaim

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.” (Phil. 4:8-9)

Prompt

Jesus is the light of the world—but what good is light if it doesn’t illuminate if it can’t reach its intended targets? A covered light is no light at all!

Fortunately, gratitude turns us into a window. When we’re grateful, we become a window to the world that shows Jesus’ light.

When we submit to God in gratitude, we become crystal-clear glass that reveals Him and only Him.

I don’t know about you, but I don't want to block the LIGHT of God! I want it to shine through me SO THAT it reaches those I love, those who are lost, and those who are hurting.

This all begins with our position of thankfulness. When our gratitude is small, then our window becomes dirty and smudged, and God’s light gets dimmed. But when our gratitude grows tall, our window is fresh and clean.

Prod

Crank up today’s song and spend time in prayer asking God to LET HIS LIGHT IN!

Pray

Jesus, make me a clear window of your light to the world today. I give you all my bitterness, hate, and anger. Do what only you can do and fill me with gratitude today. I want your light to shine bright through me.
