In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. (1 Thessalonians 5:18, KJV) A thankful heart opens us up for increase. It is imperative that we maintain an attitude of gratitude. Our nation is in a period where we are not exhibiting thankfulness. If this trend continues, we will be setting ourselves up for collapse and decrease. Ephesians 4:29 warns us not to allow corrupt communication to come out of our mouths.
