Gratitude Changes Everything

Read this in my devotional today based out of the text in Exodus 17:1-7, "The key to overcoming a complaining attitude is identifying and choosing to be content with all that God has done for us. It begins by counting all of the blessings that we enjoy in Christ Jesus, and responding with thanksgiving and praise." 

Key Verse - "So the people complained to Moses, “Give us water to drink.” “Why are you complaining to me?” Moses replied to them. “Why are you testing the Lord?” But the people thirsted there for water and grumbled against Moses.” (Exodus 17:2-3a CSB)" 

Choose to trust God with what he's provided you and where He is taking you. It is not all about us, we need to move away from a life of selfish into a life of selfLESS. Thank you Lord for all that you have blessed us with, yesterday, today, and moving forward. Help us to see what you are calling us to and the opportunities you are providing us with to lead others to you. Amen.
