Grateful hearts remind us to put our trust in God, to place our confidence in the finished work of Christ and His cross. Grateful hearts remind us to live in the ongoing presence and power of the Spirit, knowing that anything that we accomplish of eternal significance, God accomplishes through us. Gratitude keeps the priority of the gospel of Jesus Christ in front of us, relying on Him in times of trial and times of prosperity, in times of blessing and in times of poverty, in times of humility and in times of joy. Gratitude trusts in the sovereignty and providence of God to bring us safely into the place He is preparing for those who believe in Christ Jesus our King.
