TITLE: Why Be Grateful?<\/h1>\n

Scripture: I Tim. 1:12-15; Psalm 67<\/h1>\n

\u00a0I. WE HAVE MUCH FOR WHICH WE CAN BE GRATEFUL<\/h4>\n

Gratitude reveals what is deep inside a person-his (priorities<\/strong><\/span>), his (presuppositions<\/strong><\/span>), his
\nunderstanding of (God<\/strong><\/span>) and (how He works<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

Gratitude is the ability to (see grace<\/strong><\/span>), and, as a result, desire to affirm it and its giver as (good<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

Thankfulness is all about the absolute and total lordship of God, His sovereignty over all things,
\nand His kindness in using His power to work all things for our good.<\/p>\n
