Quarantine from Ungratefulness

Do you know anyone who doesn’t appreciate what they are given, but instead feel like it was owed to them all along? It’s rampant! The scary thing is the creep of it: we can all start out grateful for our job, our spouse, our car, our house — but in a matter of time, complacency sneaks in, and we start complaining about little things.

Jesus told an entire parable about ungratefulness, and we see it throughout the Old and New Testaments alike. Today, we’ll explore how God the Father and Jesus the Son both responded to entitled attitudes, and talk about how we can grow into the gratitude He guides us towards.

Scriptures today: 2 Timothy 3:1-5 // Matthew 20:1-16 // Jonah 4:1-11 // Luke 17:11-19 // Philippians 4:11-13 // Luke 6:35
