Developing and
Attitude of
Gratitude
(Luke 17-14-18)
Someone once said “God lives in two
places. He lives in heaven and in a
humble, grateful heart.”
"It is good to praise the LORD and make music
to your name, O Most High to proclaim your
love in the morning and your faithfulness at
night.".
— Psalm 92:1-2
"It is good to praise the LORD and make music
to your name, O Most High to proclaim your
love in the morning and your faithfulness at
night.".
— Psalm 92:1-2

The Ten Lepers (Luke 17)

 "Were not all ten cleansed?
Where are the other nine?
Was no one found to return
and give praise to God except
this foreigner?“
-Luke 17: 17-18
 “"No story in all the gospels so
poignantly shows man’s ingratitude
like the lepers in Luke 17.So often
once a man has got what he wants,
he never comes back.“
-William Barclay
Psalm 103:2 reads, "Blessed
be the Lord, O my soul and
forget not all his blessings."
But in most cases we forget
the blessings of God and
never return to say thanks.
Why are we so inclined to forget God and live
as ungrateful people?
01
Affluence
The by-product of having so much
is a desire for more and its hard to
be grateful when we cannot learn
to be happy with what we already
have.
03
COMPANY
Bad company corrupts good
character.“
1 Corinthians 15:33.
02
Pride
"In his pride the wicked does
not seek God; in all his
thoughts there is no room for
Him.“- Psalm 10:4
04
Circumstances
It is hard for you to be
thankful because you are
trapped by a situation in your
life that is really tough.
 Four steps to
having an attitude
of gratitude
 01
Remember How
Much Gratitude
Pleases God
 “They raised their voices in praise to the
Lord and sang, ‘He is good; his love endures
forever. Then the temple of the Lord was
filled with a cloud and the priests could not
perform their service because of the cloud,
for the glory of the Lord filled the temple of
God.”
2 Chronicles 5:13-14
 02
Avoid
Complaining At
All Costs
 “I really believe the most important step in
developing inner peace is to quit complaining
and start praising.”
- Bob Russell
 "Do everything without complaining and
arguing so that you may become blameless
and pure, children of God without fault in a
crooked and depraved generation, in which
you shine like stars in the universe.“
- Philippians 2:14
03 Make a Personal
Choice To Rejoice
"Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is
God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.“
Thessalonians 5:18
04 Develop The Daily
Discipline Of Giving
Thanks
"Count your many blessings, name them one by
one and it will surprise you what the Lord has
done."
