Gratitude is an out of the world virtue for the fallen man. Being grateful and thankful is an essential virtue for a fruitful life. Gratitude speaks more about us and our heart than about the God.
The LORD God Almighty speaking through David in Psalms 103:2 says – “2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:” What strikes me the most is “forget not” – it simply means DO NOT FORGET.
Now to think a little more on these words – “forget not.” It assumes the possibility of one forgetting the help and the blessing received. David know the human heart all too well. Therefore, he is writing to himself, and to all his readers, ALWAYS REMEMBER what the LORD had done for us. NEVER EVER FORGET all that we have received from the hands of God, our benevolent, merciful and gracious Creator, Redeemer and LORD.
Let us list out all the blessings we have received from the LORD. Let us thank the LORD for the same. Let us never ever forget all that our God had done for us. Let always remember to be grateful and thankful. It speaks a lot about us.
“18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:18
