There is a reason that in Philippians 4:6, Paul tells us to present our requests to God, with thanksgiving. It is not because God is an ego-maniac who needs to be acknowledged for everything He does (although He really should be acknowledged for everything He does, because without Him, we wouldn't be breathing).

God knows that gratitude changes everything. It changes us, and it changes the world around us. He does everything for our best interest, and telling us to practice gratitude is no different. We love having Shelton Markham on, and this episode can be filed under the "gems from Shelton" folder. At the end of the episode, he and Andrew give us some practical tools for being thankful, and you don't want to miss those.
