Colossians 2:6–7 — “As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him… abounding in thanksgiving.”

A thankful believer is a stable believer.

Paul says thanksgiving is not optional — it is essential to a believer’s spiritual foundation. Gratitude produces roots. It anchors you. It steadies you. It strengthens you.

The opposite is also true:

A thankless believer becomes unstable, easily shaken, tossed around by circumstances, and vulnerable to discouragement.

Why?

Because gratitude constantly turns your focus from your circumstances to your Savior.

Every time you give thanks, you are:

• Reaffirming God’s goodness
• Reminding your heart of truth
• Strengthening trust in His character
• Rejecting the enemy’s lies
• Choosing faith over feelings

Paul doesn’t say to have a little thanksgiving — he says to abound in it.

Overflow with it. Let it shape your attitude, your responses, and your perspective.

Gratitude is one of the strongest weapons in spiritual warfare because it refuses to let trials redefine who God is.

Today, strengthen your faith by practicing deliberate thanksgiving.
