Give Thanks Daily
Luke 17:18
'There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this (one) stranger.'
LUKE 17:11-18
Relatively few
people who receive the goodness of the Lord return to give Him thanks
for what He has done! That does not keep the Lord from doing what is
right for us. He healed all ten of these lepers according to their
request - not just the one who was thankful. However, there was only one
out of the ten that was made 'whole.'
{Most people are so hung up in their own little universe that they fail to see and fully realize the Eternal importance giving sincere Thanks!}
The Lord desires that we prosper in spirit, soul, and body. He wants us to be whole - not just healed. Part of the reason God meets our physical needs is to prove to us His willingness and ability to meet our emotional and spiritual needs. The Lord is concerned about our temporal needs (Matt. 6:30), but He is even more concerned about our eternal needs. All of these lepers needed physical healing and the Lord was moved with compassion and met their need.
He was also desiring to meet their spiritual needs, but only one out of the ten came back for that.
{Sad that so few come to realize this eternal fact and Blessing in life!}
Being unthankful is always a sign that self is exalting itself above God. A selfless person can be content with very little. A self-centered person cannot be satisfied. Thankfulness is a sign of humility and cultivating a life of thankfulness will help keep 'self' in its proper place.
Thankfulness to the Lord for what He is and what He has done is a very important part of the Christian life. One of the many benefits of thanksgiving and praise is that they keep us from being 'self' centered and oriented.
Giving thanks is a totally unselfish action and is a key to your relationship with the God our Heavenly Father which makes us 'whole' and not just 'healed.'
{We should thank God for all that He has done for us wither it be grand or simply small!}
