David Jeremiah - Thanksgiving Is Supernatural

Thanksgiving is empowered by God and focused on God. And God says that when you and I are controlled by his Spirit, we will be grateful people, thankful for what we have, anxious to share it with others, always overwhelmed with gratitude for God's goodness to us. William Law, writing centuries ago, made a very good point when he said this: "Would you like to know who is the greatest saint in the world? It isn't he who prays most or fasts most. It isn't he who gives most. But it is he who always is thankful to God, who receives everything as an instrument of God's goodness and has a heart always ready to praise God for his benefits. The greatest saint is the one," he said, "who is always thankful". And Ephesians 5 says this: "When you are controlled by the Spirit of God, thanksgiving will be the result. You will have a grateful spirit".
