“你吃饱了，就要称颂耶和华你的神，因为他把那美地赐了给你。”
申命记 8:10
“When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land He has given you.”
Deuteronomy 8:10
When the Israelites were about to enter the Promised Land, Moses urged them to be a grateful people (Deut. 8:10). Thanks to the blessings of God, the land was abundant, but they could easily treat this prosperity as something they deserved (vv. 17–18). From this, the Jews developed a practice of giving thanks for every meal, no matter how small. For them, it was all a gift.
Blessed are You,
O Lord our God, King of the universe, who brings forth bread from the earth.
A Jewish thanksgiving prayer for meals
Be grateful to God for even the smallest gift.
Why do we sometimes find it difficult to be grateful?
How can a sense of entitlement hinder a thankful spirit?
