Let Me teach you  thankfulness. Begin by acknowledging that everything—all your  possessions and all that you are—belongs to Me. The dawning of each new day is a  gift from Me, not to be taken for granted. The earth is vibrantly alive with My  blessings, giving vivid testimony to My Presence. If you slow down your pace of  life, you can find Me anywhere.

Some of My most precious  children have been laid aside in sick beds or shut away in prisons. Others have  voluntarily learned the discipline of spending time alone with Me. The secret of  being thankful is learning to see everything from My perspective. My world is  your classroom. My Word is a lamp to your feet and a light for your  path.

Therefore, since we are  receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship  God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming  fire.” —Hebrews  12:28–29

Your word is a lamp to my feet  and a light for my path. —Psalm  119:105
