Worship Devotional - "Instant Capacity to Be Thankful"

Key Scripture: "Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures." - James 1:18

Reflection

The moment we get saved, our "dead" spirit becomes "alive" to God, and we instantly have the capacity to be thankful. God has designed us so that when we first become aware of His presence in our lives, thanksgiving is our natural response. We don't have to learn to be thankful - we're created for it.

At the beginning of our salvation, our praise may be limited because praise is based on knowledge, and we don't know much about God yet. Our worship may also be limited because we haven't experienced intimate times with Him. But we can immediately be thankful because His presence has come to dwell in our lives.
