The masses in Society 2026 continually harp on “what they would change”. Seems like each voice has a mile- long list of all that’s wrong and which they would eliminate. No gratitude for blessings fuels these lamenters. In fact, criticism blots out every thread of thanksgiving. To me, this is very sad.
I’m not, at all, implying that our world is not infested with evil. It is. However, my longing is for God’s family on earth to perceive and see our Heavenly Father’s supreme power and goodness, to count our blessings from Him and with faithful hearts become determined not to allow the world’s evil change us from grateful to hateful.
Hateful is a weed. Grateful is a seed. Weeds strangulate. Seeds promulgate.
Maybe, much that is wrongly overpowering society could best be uprooted if we examined ourselves. Am I hatefully focused on what I would change, or am I gratefully conscious of all I wouldn’t change?
“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” Colossians 3:17 (ESV)
