My QT Learning:Luke 17:11-19
The point is, no one has an acceptable excuse for ungratefulness. All can choose to give thanks and acknowledge God's goodness and grace.
Jesus turned to the thankful man, saying, "Rise up and go your way; your faith has made you well" (v.19). All ten lepers had been made well. But Christ was saying in effect: "Because of your gratefulness, you have been made well in a much deeper way than those who refused to be thankful."
"Be filled with the Spirit... giving thanks always for everything to God" (Ephesians 5:18,20). This is the Mt. Everest of thankfulness. And it promises victory over every circumstance. We may be reading this while experiencing a health crisis, a great sorrow or a financial need. We need to get to the place by faith where we can say, "Thank You, God. This is the thing that You're using in my life. You've allowed it because You love me and I trust You. Thank You, God, even for this!" When we allow the Lord to bring us into that kind of thankfulness, we will experience a depth of joy we never thought possible.
God help me to be always thankful... having a child-like faith in You... in You im all sufficient! For You always provide for my daily need! i love You... for eternity... no one can take Your wonderous love for me! =))) I've been paid for in FULL 10:40 PM
