Join morning host, Bob Lepine, for an advent devotional starting November 27. Sign up for the Verse of the Day and each weekday morning you'll also get a short video from Bob's devotional "Glory to the Newborn King."

Give thanks. Why? Because that’s God’s Will in Christ, concerning you. The miracle of the Christian life is tied somehow to our willingness to thank God for what He’s doing in our lives, whether or not we like it.

Gratitude is a duty — we ought to thank God for the grace he has given. But genuine Christian gratitude is far more than mere duty.
