Daily Devotional - A Time of Gratitude - WK45 - 11/9/24 - Day 293 "Thankful Entrance"

Author: Evangelist Lisa Dalton

“Thankful Entrance”
Scripture: Psalm 100:4

“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.”

Devotion:
Psalm 100:4 calls us to enter God's presence with gratitude and joy. The psalmist encourages us not only to come before God but to come with a heart overflowing with thanksgiving. Thanksgiving opens our hearts, shifting our focus from our circumstances to God’s faithfulness and provision.

When we choose gratitude, we acknowledge that every blessing, big or small, is a gift from God. Even on days when life feels heavy or uncertain, there is always something to thank Him for. Perhaps it's the warmth of a new day, the kindness of a friend, or simply His constant presence with us. As we thank God, our hearts are lifted, and we’re reminded of His goodness.

Application:
Today, make a list of three things you’re grateful for. Take a few moments to thank God for each one, letting gratitude fill your heart and shift your perspective.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for Your endless blessings. Help me to enter each day with a heart full of gratitude. When life feels challenging, remind me of Your faithfulness. May my praise be constant, and may I always approach You with thanksgiving. Amen.
