“REMEMBER [with GRATITUDE] His MARVELOUS DEEDS which He HAS DONE, His MIRACLES and the judgments from His mouth.” – 1 Chronicles 16:12 Amplified Bible.
“REMEMBER [with AWE and GRATITUDE] the WONERFUL THINGS which He HAS DONE, His AMAZING DEEDS and the judgments uttered by His mouth [on His enemies, as in Egypt].” – Psalm 105:5 Amplified Bible.
Eleven months behind us, and we are now in the twelfth and last month of this great year. Only by the grace of God and having obtained the help of God, we have continued to this day!
If God hadn’t been for us…. when everyone went against us, we would have been swallowed alive by their violent anger, Swept away by the flood of rage, drowned in the torrent; We would have lost our lives in the wild, raging water. Oh, blessed be God! He didn’t go off and leave us. He didn’t abandon us defenseless…We’ve flown free from their fangs, free of their traps, free as a bird. Their grip is broken; we’re free as a bird in flight. God’s strong name is our help, the same God who made heaven and earth. (Psalm 124:1-8 Message Bible).
What about December 2025? December 2025 is the month of GRATITUDE! First Chronicles 16:12 Amplified Bible says, “REMEMBER [with GRATITUDE] His MARVELOUS DEEDS which He HAS DONE, His MIRACLES and the judgments from His mouth.” December is the month to remember with GRATITUDE the marvelous deeds that God has done for us and His miracles for our dear family from the beginning of this year till this very hour.
The Homeless Man Who Found Hope
In the heart of a bustling city, a homeless man named Tom lived on the streets. Each day was a struggle for survival, but he had one thing that kept him going: gratitude. Despite his circumstances, Tom expressed appreciation for the small things in life—a warm cup of coffee, a friendly smile from a passerby, or even the sun’s warmth on his skin. His positive outlook caught the attention of a local journalist who wrote a story about him.
As the piece gained traction, more people began to contribute to Tom’s story. Donations poured in through GoFundMe, allowing him to secure temporary housing and eventually lead him to get back on his feet. Tom’s story became one of hope and resilience, demonstrating how gratitude can foster connection and empower those in need.
Author, speaker, and professor who studies vulnerability, courage, shame, and empathy, Brene Brown said, “What separates privilege from entitlement is gratitude.” Tom would have remained on the streets and continued to struggle for survival like many others with an entitlement mindset, but a gratitude mindset changed everything for good for him because gratitude is an attitude with magnitude imbued with a magnetic nature that attracts good things and people to you.
It is gratitude that makes us express appreciation to God and people, even for the small things in life, instead of complaining about our expectations that are yet to come into manifestation. To experience a change in attitude, we must resist every spirit of entitlement and adopt the attitude of gratitude by remembering all the marvelous deeds that God has done for us all.
