[The Glory Unveiled]
One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. ( Luke 17:15 )
Attitude is all about mentality. The right mental attitude produces the right behavioural attitude. So that anyone with a mental attitude of thanksgiving does not need to experience some extraordinary miracle before they show gratitude. They are grateful for the little seemingly insignificant things. And someone without an attitude of gratitude, even when the whole world is given to then, will not appreciate the giver. In the verse of Scripture above, ten Lepers were healed by Jesus but only one returned to thank Him. Whatever we are not grateful for, we do not deserve. In the verses following our verse of focus, Jesus said to the one who came to thank Him that His faith had made him whole, suggesting that the others were not wholly healed. It also meant that gratitude was a faith mechanism that guarantees wholesome miracles. We express our faith through thanksgiving. When we wait for the miracle we anticipate to happen before we feel appreciative of God, it means our faith is in the miracles and not in the worker of the miracle. But if we put on an attitude of thanksgiving even before the miracle arrives, then our faith is rightly placed. Let us appropriate our faith through thanksgiving. Begin to thank God for all that He’s ever done and what He is doing and what He will do later.
Prayer_Bead: Father in Jesus name, thank you for all that you have done for me. Thank you for what you are doing here and now and what you would do here after.
