Thanksgiving causes you to have grace (Jas 4:6). More grace is required to see more of anything in your life. A thankful person is a humble person. Gratitude and humility go hand in hand. Pride shows ingratitude. Pride always wants more and isn’t satisfied with what it has. Pride says, “You owe me something”—you expect something from people. When it comes to people, expect nothing and appreciate everything; when it comes to God, expect everything and appreciate everything. God resists the proud and ungrateful. See what God did to Lucifer who was ungrateful for all that God did for him; pride and ingratitude took root in him. Favor resists the proud. Pride leads you to destruction and hell. Korah gathered a group of Israelites against Moses and Aaron because he felt like they were taking on too much and not giving others a chance to “shine” (Num 16:2-3). He was guilty of that of which he was accusing others (Rom 2:1). Moses told him that he was ungrateful for all that the Lord had done for him (Numbers 16:8-10). God was so grieved that He caused the ground to open up and swallow him and his followers. Don’t look at what others have; instead, give thanks for what God has done for you.
