God guards the hearts and minds of those who are thankful, but He does not guard those who grumble and complain. In the Israelites' desert journey, God rained down manna from heaven upon them, gave them water out of the rock, and granted them good gifts every day for 40 years. However, the people always poured out their complaints to God even for small hardships. Then God withdrew His gifts from those ungrateful people. As a result, God's protection ceased and they were destroyed in the desert. Taking a lesson from this history of Israel, we must not forget to give thanks to God for the gifts He gives us every day.
(Col 2:6~7) So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him,
rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
(Col 3:15~17) Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
