Thankfulness Comes From A Strong Faith - Colossians 2

S - Colossians 2:7 Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.
O - Based on this verse, thankfulness comes from having a strong faith which comes from having your life built firmly on Jesus. Roots are where all the water and nutrients from the soil is gathered so when they are told to have their roots grow down to Him, this means that He should be the source of life.
A - I need to daily transfer the control of my life to Him and to be close to Him so that I can tap into His strength and wisdom for my daily living. Doing this will produce a strong faith which will bring not only thankfulness but and overflow of thankfulness. So much thankfulness that negativity will have no place in my life. Just like darkness can't be in a room full of light, negativity can't coexist with a life overflowing with thankfulness.
P - Heavenly Father, I give you my life today and I search for you and desire your strength and your wisdom. Fill my heart with thankfulness Lord and help me to pass this on to my wife and children. Help me to get passion back into my life and to strive for what you have called me to do daily. Bless my family and me today and protect us both physically and spiritually.
