Luke 17: 16-18: “He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?”
Christians all over the world have been praying for an end to the fires in Australia—asking God to send rain.
Last week, He did just that.
He sent rain AND hail.
How many of us pour out our hearts to God, only to “forget” to offer thanks when our prayers are answered?
A friend is healed from an illness.
A wayward child returns home.
Funds are provided to pay for unexpected bills.
In Luke, ten lepers are healed, but only one returns to thank Jesus.
Although there are scriptures reminding us to pray to The Lord to supply our needs (He wants to give His children good things), we are also told that giving thanks is the appropriate response.
