Tilling the Soil of the Heart: Thankfulness

As we continue this week focusing on tilling the soil of our hearts, today we’re going to look at the role of thankfulness in opening our hearts to receive all that God longs to give. While Scripture is filled with encouragements to be thankful, I think our own lived experience tells us that being thankful is essential in the pursuit of an abundant life. So may God remind us of all we have to be thankful for today as we make space to meet with him. And may our days be better as the result of taking just a few moments to be thankful for who we are, what we have, and all God has done for us as his beloved children. Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 107:1 , and today's worship is Gratitude by Brandon Lake. -- Thanks for listening to today’s podcast.
