Choosing Thankfulness When Life Doesn’t Look Good
In the midst of tight deadlines and underestimated efforts, gratitude might seem elusive. Yet, like David, embracing thankfulness can be a powerful leadership tool. It's not just a reaction to success, but a declaration of trust in a steadfast promise, transforming challenges into resilience.
George B. Thomas
Let’s be honest. There are seasons when life doesn’t look good. You’ve got deadlines closing in, people underestimating you, and challenges stacking up like weights on your chest. You give everything you’ve got, but the results don’t come fast enough. Maybe you’ve been overlooked, or maybe you’re carrying scars from battles no one else even sees. Gratitude? In those moments, it can feel like the last thing on your mind.
David knew that feeling. He was underestimated by family, despised by giants, and hunted by a king who should have been his ally. Nothing in his life screamed “success story.” And yet, he clung to a deeper truth: God’s promises hold even when everything else seems to fall apart.
That’s the turning point. Gratitude isn’t a reaction to circumstances. It’s a declaration of trust in God’s character.
