Jesus speaking, said were there not Ten that was healed...? Luke 17:17

As it is for human to expect show of gratitude and appreciation, so also it is of God. Although, it doesnt change him from who he is or what he is, gratitude is only our key to attain better and higher degree of blessing from God opposite of which will be our undoing and self cheating.

To be ungrateful is a character trait that shows itself as a lack of thankfulness and appreciation to both man and God.
The bible expressly tells us that it is very important for believers to show gratitude and appreciate God for his manifold blessings towards the sons of man on a daily basis.

A FEW REASONS WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL

  • Appreciate God for who He is
  • For the salvation of our soul
  • Redemption of humanity
  • Favour He surrounds Us with
  • Glorious future that waits Us.
    Psalm 100:4 says; "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with Praises: be thankful unto him and bless his name."

1st Thessalonians 5:18 Tells us to that giving thanks in all Situation is God's will for Us in Christ Jesus.
NOTE: If you only Praise God when you are in the congratulation or whenever you are told to do so then your praise is not overflowing from a heart of gratitude but that you are just following order. Also, Know that God does not want us to Praise him simoky becaise we are told to do so.
I pray that God will give us reasons to always Praise him in Jesus name.
The bible is full of numerous examples of people who faiked to give God thanks inspite of all gifts and blessing he bestowed on them, E.g is the Nine lepers who failed to return to God with Praide after being healed.

Do not forget that in the beginning God created man in his infinite wisdom for the sole purppse of showing forth his praise Rev 4:11 and Isaiah 43:21.

Ingratitude will blind your eyes to see the awesome and a thousand and one reasons for which course you should have given thanks and praises to God. Therefore it is a sign of wickedness and Rebellion against Him (Rom 1:21) no wonder it is listed as one of the evil traits that men will manifest in the last days (2Tim 3:2).
