Power principles

There are many power principles in the New Testament. One of them is the power of gratitude. King David taught much on the power of gratitude. People that are grateful have such an advantage over those who are ungrateful. The ungrateful cannot see beyond their current circumstances; The grateful see hidden opportunities, even during times of difficulty. The ungrateful do not appreciate what they currently have, so they are always looking and desiring what others have; The grateful appreciate what God has placed in their hands. The ungrateful are never satisfied, so they are always stuck in a vicious cycle of jealousy and desiring what others have; The grateful place great value in what they currently have, thus they are free to grow from there. The ungrateful are not generous, because they do not value what they have; The grateful are generous, even with the little that they have. the ungrateful can’t see past their circumstances to see God’s love and mercy. The grateful realize that God is good, and His mercy endures forever! (Psalms 106:1)

Ephesians 5:20 “Giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of [f]God”.
