PB Devotion

“Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

What is coming out of your mouth?

When we open our mouths, what ought to come out is thanksgiving. When a person becomes a Believer, there is something different about the inner man. Built into that newness is a heart of thanksgiving that cries out in gratitude to God. It’s hard to find someone more thankful than a brand-new Believer. Thanksgiving becomes the fruit of the work of the Spirit within us. But how quickly we can become unthankful!

A thankless attitude is abnormal for an actually abnormal for the Believer because it is opposite of the new life, the new nature, the new person in Christ. We should never tolerate ungrateful behavior. We should call it out in ourselves and others. Why? It is sin. The Bible repeatedly calls us to thankfulness.

Give thanks to the Lord for He is good!!

Happy Thanksgiving!
