How often do you remember to thank God for answering prayer? This is the topic of my devotion on Devotable today. Here’s a sneak peek:
Remembering to Thank God
The story of the ten lepers often slays me.
In Luke 17:11-19, we learn that Jesus miraculously healed ten lepers. They cried out to Him for mercy, and His words alone healed them as they walked toward the temple.
Only one of these ten suffering men returned to thank Jesus. He did so with shouting and praising. He fell to the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking Him boldly.
This man was a Samaritan, a member of the class the Jews despised. We can assume that since the text points this out, the other lepers may have been Jews, yet refused to return with thanks.
How often do I cry out to God, receive an answer, then forget to return?
How often does this happen to you, friend?
I’m not a Jew, but I have been a believer since childhood. You could say that I know God better than the average person. Yet why do I fail to give thanks?
