Pastors of Gratitude And he appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the LORD God of Israel. 1 Chronicles 16:4 Churches come in all sizes. Some have no paid staff at all. Others may employ a vast team of people in many roles. How big is your churchs staff? Have you ever known a church hiring someone just to be thankful? When King David set up the worship leaders for the tabernacle, he appointed certain Levites just to continually thank and praise the Lord. Thanksgiving was their job. What if our churches hired a person whose only job was to go around with a thankful attitude and to motivate others to have the same? We could call them Pastors of Gratitude. How would that look on their business card? God wants to hire all of us for that job. Its His will for us to be grateful Christians. When we feel that old spirit of complaining start to bubble up in our hearts, we need to remind ourselves to take time to thank God for His blessings. That helps us refocus our minds and put things back in perspective. That lifts the spirits of those around us. And that is pleasing to Him. If we dont take inventory every once in a while and give thanks to God for the great things He has done for us, we get totally out of perspective. David Jeremiah
