Read & Reflect

True Christian gratitude does not depend on circumstances. Our gratitude is anchored in the unchanging eternal promises of God our Savior.

Habakkuk 3:17–18 (ESV)

¹⁷ Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines,

the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food,

the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls,

¹⁸  yet I will rejoice in the LORD;

I will take joy in the God of my salvation.

Luke 10:17-20 (ESV)

¹⁷ The seventy-two returned  with  joy,  saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” ¹⁸ And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. ¹⁹ Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions,  and  over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. ²⁰ Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
