Luke 17:15-16 - Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. He prostrated himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him.
People who have a grateful heart are always praising God. You hear them say that…They know that God is the reason for every blessing they get. But there are those who look to God for blessings and when they get blessed, they just go on their merry way.
Jesus had an encounter with both these types of people when He walked into a village one day. Ten lepers cried out to Him, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” (Luke 17:13). Now, when you call out to Jesus for mercy, He always hears you.
So these 10 lepers cried out to Him for mercy. And “they were cleansed”. (Luke 17:14). But only one came back and fell at Jesus’ feet, giving Him thanks. Notice the very sad words of Jesus that followed: “Were not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?” (Luke 17:17).
Remember to give God the praise, glory and honour, and acknowledge that He is the source of every blessing in your life.
Thought for the day!
When we praise God and give Him thanks for His blessings, we position ourselves for even greater blessings!
