Piombìno is an Italian municipality of 32,254 inhabitants in the province of Livorno in Tuscany. The city preserves
evidence of its past, from its Etruscan origins to the Principality of Piombino of which it was the capital; its long history can be summarized in the architectural monuments and works of art preserved
in the historic center, to the creation of which Leonardo da Vinci and Andrea Guardi also contributed.
The state was born as a lordship in 1398 on the territories of the Republic of Pisa.
Two centuries later in 1594 the sovereignty of the Appiano family was finally recognized by the emperor with consequent elevation to a Principality.

Leos are bold, warm, and loving. They are also the ultimate showmen. They can dazzle with the theatrical flair of a Broadway star and the charisma of a politician. They are captivating personalities. They have a way with words, and can speak eloquently on just about any topic, no matter how quickly they’ve just been introduced to it.
Leos inject ambition into everything they do. They are ruled by the heart. They are brash and confident and trust their instincts. Their actions are natural and effortless.
Leos have an unrelenting appetite for growth that is easily satiated by the praise of others. When they are hurting, it shows. They will use their anger as a protective wall to shield their vulnerabilities. They want to be perceived as unbreakable because they are scared of admitting vulnerability, needing things from other people, being incomplete.
Leos hate being bossed around. They are very much in charge of their own worlds and their own destiny. Leos are perpetually wounded by the acts of betrayal and abandonment. Their pride is a sword that they wield to protect their sovereignty.
Their sense of honor is intense, they hold both themselves and others to a very high standard, and they are deeply wounded when someone breaks that code. There is an ingrained need for everyone to acknowledge and validate their existence. This can lead to what can be labeled as narcissistic or absolutist behavior that borders on the absurd.
They hate being told what to do, but if you can get them to listen, they can usually be persuaded—especially if you make them feel like it was what they wanted all along. But they’ll always secretly resent that they didn’t reach this conclusion alone. Leos don’t like to be told to do things, and they especially don't like being forced. They demand respect and they don’t take kindly to people who don’t respect them.

The Words of the Returned Lord Jesus "Man Can Only Be Saved Amidst the Management of God"
Almighty God says, "Mankind does not know who is the Sovereign of all things in the universe, much less does he know the beginning and future of mankind. Mankind merely lives, perforce, amidst this law. None can escape it and none can change it, for among all things and in the heavens there is but One from everlasting to everlasting who holds sovereignty over everything. He is the One who has never been beheld by man, the One whom mankind has never known, in whose existence mankind has never believed, yet He is the One who breathed the breath into mankind’s ancestors and gave life to mankind. He is the One who supplies and nourishes mankind for its existence, and guides mankind up to the present day. Moreover, He and He alone is whom mankind depends on for its survival. He holds sovereignty over all things and rules all living beings beneath the universe. He commands the four seasons, and it is He who calls forth wind, frost, snow, and rain. He gives mankind sunshine and brings the coming of night. It was He who laid out the heavens and earth, providing man with mountains, lakes and rivers and all the living things within them. His deed is everywhere, His power is everywhere, His wisdom is everywhere, and His authority is everywhere. … The management of God is always going forward and has never ceased. He will make mankind aware of His existence, trust in His sovereignty, behold His deed, and return to His kingdom. This is His plan, and the work that He has been conducting for thousands of years.”

Many people in Turkey commemorate the first gathering of the Grand National Assembly (the Turkish Parliament), which took place on April 23, 1920, by attending local ceremonies or laying wreaths at monuments of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the Turkish Republic. The biggest ceremony takes place at the Ataturk Mausoleum in Ankara.
Because Ataturk reportedly dedicated the Turkish Republic to children, Turkish schoolchildren take seats in the Parliament for the day and symbolically govern the country. They elect a president who then addresses the country on national television. Children’s festivals take place throughout the country. The state-run Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) brings children, aged eight to 14, from different countries around the world to Turkey. These children stay with Turkish families for a week and participate in children’s festivals, which culminate is a gala-performance on April 23.

Какого мира хочет Украина?
"Уважения к суверенитету, к территориальной целостности, традициям, народу, языку. Уважения к людям, обществу и к независимости нашего государства. Я сейчас сказал банальные вещи, но именно все эти обычные нормальные вещи нарушила РФ. И для этого нужно их восстановить - вывести свои войска с нашей земли. Наших войск на территории РФ нет. Вывести войска, деоккупировать наши дома, я уже не говорю о том, что надо вернуть все награбленное из обычных домов".
"В переговорах мы готовы говорить - по крайней мере выйдите с той территории, которую вы оккупировали начиная с 24 числа. Да, вы будете на некоторых наших временно оккупированных территориях продолжать стоять, к сожалению, но это первый понятный шаг, чтобы о чем-то говорить, давайте это сделаем. Мы не слышим ответа на этот вопрос".

a group that will walk with Him and are able to
understand,
comprehend and know His disposition.
Regardless of how long He still has to wait,
regardless of how hard the road ahead,
no matter how far off the objectives He yearns for,
God has not altered nor given up on His expectations
for man.
This wish of God has never changed.
This wish of God remains the same.

I
God's been in this world for many years, but who knows Him? No wonder God chastises people. Seems God uses them as objects of His authority. Seems they're bullets in His gun, and once He's fired it, they'll all escape one by one. But this is not what is real, it's their imagination. God loves people like His treasure, since they're the "capital" of His management. He will not eliminate them. He won't change His will towards them. He won't change His will towards them.
II
God has always respected humans. He hasn't once exploited or traded them like slaves. For He and man can't part. Thus a life and death bond is formed. Between man and God, God loves, cherishes humans. Though this isn't mutual, God still spends efforts on them, as to God they still look up. God loves people like His treasure, since they're the "capital" of His management. He will not eliminate them. He won't change His will towards them. He won't change His will towards them. He won't change His will towards them. He won't change His will towards them.
III
Can they truly trust God's oath? How can they satisfy God? This is the task for all man, the "homework" God left for all. It is God's hope that they will all work hard to complete it.

AImighty God's words:“The Fate of Humanity and the Fate of the Universe Are Inseparable From the Creator’s Sovereignty”
www.holyspiritspeaks.org/gospel/fate-inseparable-from-Cre...
Almighty Godsays:“Where you will go every day, what you will do, who or what you will encounter, what you will say, what will happen to you—can any of this be predicted? People cannot foresee all these occurrences, much less control how they develop. In life, these unforeseeable events happen all the time, and they are an everyday occurrence. These daily vicissitudes and the ways they unfold, or the patterns by which they play out, are constant reminders to humanity that nothing happens at random, that these things’ ramifications, and their inevitability, cannot be shifted by human will. Every happening conveys an admonition from the Creator to mankind, and it also sends the message that human beings cannot control their own fates; at the same time every event is a rebuttal to humanity’s wild, futile ambition and desire to take its fate into its own hands. They are like powerful slaps about humanity’s ears one after another, forcing people to reconsider who, in the end, governs and controls their fate. And as their ambitions and desires are repeatedly thwarted and shattered, humans naturally arrive at an unconscious acceptance of what fate has in store, an acceptance of reality, of the will of Heaven and the Creator’s sovereignty. From these daily vicissitudes to the fates of entire human lives, there is nothing that does not reveal the Creator’s plans and His sovereignty; there is nothing that does not send the message that “the Creator’s authority cannot be exceeded,” that does not convey the eternal truth that “the Creator’s authority is supreme.”

This is all so exquisitely designed—is there a Mighty One ruling and arranging all this? Since coming into this world crying we have begun playing different roles in life. We move from birth to old age to illness to death, we go between joy and sorrow…. Where does mankind really come from, and where will we really go? Who is ruling our fates? From ancient times to modern days, great nations have risen up, dynasties have come and gone, and countries and peoples have flourished and perished in the tides of history…. Just like the laws of nature, the laws of humanity's development contain infinite mysteries. Would you like to know the answers to them? The Christian musical documentary The One Who Holds Sovereignty Over Everything will guide you to get to the root of this, to unveil all of these mysteries!

English Christian Hymn With Lyrics | "Suffering Fills the Days Without God" | praise and worship music
www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/suffering-fills-days-with...
Verse 1
When one does not comprehend fate
or understand God’s sovereignty,
when one gropes forward wilfully,
staggering and tottering,
through the fog, the journey
is too difficult to make,
through the fog, the journey
will make one’s heart break.
Chorus
Suffering fills the days without God.
If one accepts the Creator’s sovereignty,
submits to all His arrangements,
and seeks to gain true human life,
one can break free from the heartache,
break free from all of one’s suffering,
shake off the emptiness of life,
shake off the emptiness of life.
Verse 2
When one has no God and one cannot see Him,
when one can’t recognize His sovereignty,
every day is miserable,
and the days have no value or meaning.
No matter where one is or what job one does,
one’s means of living and pursuit of goals,
when one has no God, it brings one
endless heartbreak and suffering that’s hard to let go.
Chorus
Suffering fills the days without God.
If one accepts the Creator’s sovereignty,
submits to all His arrangements,
and seeks to gain true human life,
one can break free from the heartache,
break free from all of one’s suffering,
shake off the emptiness of life,
shake off the emptiness of life.
Bridge
When people can recognize God’s sovereignty
over their human fate,
the smart ones choose to know and accept it,
and bid farewell to painful days
when they tried to build a good life
with two hands of their own.
They’ll no longer struggle against fate
and pursue their so-called goals.
Chorus
Suffering fills the days without God.
If one accepts the Creator’s sovereignty,
submits to all His arrangements,
and seeks to gain true human life,
one can break free from the heartache,
break free from all of one’s suffering,
shake off the emptiness of life,
shake off the emptiness of life.

The harsh convict barracks at Fremantle (the waterfront district of Perth, the capital of Western Australia) -- established in the British colonisation of Australia -- was first known as the "Convict Establishment". It was renamed Fremantle Prison in 1867. The lighthouse above steered the transportation ships into Fremantle harbour for unloading of the convicts.
Convicts built the prison between 1852 and 1859 using limestone quarried on the site. The first prisoners moved into the main cell block in 1855.
Like Tasmania's notorious Macquarie Harbour Penal Station (see "Hell's Gate Lighthouse" in this gallery on page 2 near the bottom); Fremantle Prison was also an extremely tough prison to be shipped to across the world.
Common events were hangings, floggings, and solitary confinement, which saw daring convict escapes, and prisoner riots. Nearly 10,000 convicts passed through the prison between 1850 and 1868. Transportation then ceased following a reassessment of British home policy.
Inmates also included imperial convicts, colonial prisoners, enemy aliens, prisoners of war, maximum-security detainees, and thousands of Australian Indigenous or Aboriginal people, who never yielded sovereignty to the British. In 1991, the prison was shut down, and later became a museum.
Believe it or not, in 2010, Fremantle Prison, along with 10 other historic convict sites around Australia, was placed on the World Heritage Register for places of universal significance. (various references).

Μεταβαίνουμε από τη γέννηση στο γήρας, στην ασθένεια, στον θάνατο, ζούμε μεταξύ χαράς και λύπης.... Από πού προέρχονται πράγματι οι άνθρωποι και πού πράγματι οδεύουμε; Ποιος κυβερνά τη μοίρα μας; Από την αρχαιότητα ως τη σύγχρονη εποχή, μεγάλα έθνη έχουν ακμάσει, δυναστείες έχουν έλθει και παρέλθει, και οι χώρες και οι λαοί έχουν προοδεύσει και χάθηκαν στον ρου της ιστορίας.... Όπως οι νόμοι της φύσης, έτσι και οι νόμοι της εξέλιξης της ανθρωπότητας περιέχουν άπειρα μυστήρια. Θα θέλατε να μάθετε τις απαντήσεις σε αυτά; Το ντοκιμαντέρ Αυτός που κυριαρχεί επί των πάντων θα σας καθοδηγήσει για να φτάσετε στη ρίζα τους, για να αποκαλύψετε όλα αυτά τα μυστήρια!

Almighty God words: “The several decades that make up a human life are neither long nor short. The twenty-odd years between birth and coming of age pass in the blink of an eye, and though at this point in life a person is considered an adult, people in this age group know next to nothing about human life and human fate. As they gain more experience, they step gradually into middle age. People in their thirties and forties acquire a fledgling experience of life and fate, but their ideas about these things are still very vague. It is not until the age of forty that some people begin to understand mankind and the universe, which God created, and to grasp what human life is all about, what human fate is all about. Some people, though they have long been followers of God and are now middle-aged, still cannot possess an accurate knowledge and definition of God’s sovereignty, much less true submission. Some people care about nothing other than seeking to receive blessings, and though they have lived for many years, they do not know or understand in the least the fact of the Creator’s sovereignty over human fate, and have not taken even the smallest step into the practical lesson of submitting to God’s orchestrations and arrangements. Such people are thoroughly foolish, and their lives are lived in vain. …”

Less frequented alleys in the Old Town in Dubrovnik :)
Dubrovnik is a city in southern Dalmatia, Croatia, by the Adriatic Sea. It was historically known as Ragusa. It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations in the Mediterranean, a seaport and the centre of the Dubrovnik-Neretva County. The history of the city probably dates back to the 7th century, when the town known as Ragusa was founded by refugees from Epidaurum (Ragusa Vecchia). It was under the protection of the Byzantine Empire and later under the sovereignty of the Republic of Venice. Between the 14th and 19th centuries, Dubrovnik ruled itself as a free state. The prosperity of the city was historically based on maritime trade; as the capital of the maritime Republic of Ragusa, it achieved a high level of development, particularly during the 15th and 16th centuries, as it became notable for its wealth and skilled diplomacy. Dubrovnik in the medieval scale was a spacious city. From the beginning of its existence, the city was surrounded by defensive walls, which were constantly extended and raised until they formed a powerful fortress. Later the Republic gradually declined due to a combination of a Mediterranean shipping crisis and the catastrophic earthquake of 1667. In 1939, Dubrovnik became part of the newly created Banovina of Croatia and under communism Dubrovnik became part of SR Croatia within SFR Yugoslavia. In 1979, the city of Dubrovnik was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in recognition of its outstanding medieval architecture and fortified old town. In 1991, during the Croatian War of Independence, Dubrovnik suffered significant damage from shelling. After undergoing repair and restoration works in the 1990s and early 2000s, it re-emerged as one of the Mediterranean's top tourist destinations, as well as a popular filming location.

Mniej uczęszczane zaułki na Starym Mieście w Dubrowniku :)
Dubrownik – miasto w Chorwacji, położone w południowej Dalmacji nad Morzem Adriatyckim. Centrum osadniczym i najstarszą częścią miasta (a jednocześnie jego największą atrakcją turystyczną) jest Stari Grad – Stare Miasto. Dzisiejsza nadmorska część dzielnicy Stari grad pierwotnie stanowiła wysepkę Lausa (bądź Lave) z małą osadą i kościółkiem. Po najeździe Słowian na Bałkany na początku VII wieku na wysepce osiedlili się uchodźcy ze zrujnowanego przez Słowian Epidaurum. Na lądzie stałym naprzeciw wysepki Słowianie założyli osadę Dubrovnik. Mieszkańcy obu osad żyli zgodnie, co pozwoliło w XII wieku je połączyć. Dokonano tego poprzez zasypanie przesmyku, na którego miejscu powstała główna ulica miasta – Stradun. Dubrownik w skali średniowiecznej był miastem obszernym. Miasto od początku swego istnienia było otoczone murami obronnymi, które wciąż poszerzano i podwyższano, aż utworzyły potężną twierdzę. Rozkwit miasta trwał od XIII do XVI wieku. W tym czasie powstała większość budowli i urządzeń miejskich, stanowiących dziś jego zabytki. Zmierzch Republiki Dubrownickiej i jej stolicy był skutkiem wielkiej zmiany szlaków handlowych w Europie po odkryciu Ameryki w XV wieku i utracie znaczenia gospodarczego szlaków śródziemnomorskich. Ponowny rozwój, choć powolny, zaczął się po zjednoczeniu Dalmacji i Bośni w jednym państwie – Królestwie Jugosławii w 1918. Obecnie Dubrownik jest najchętniej odwiedzanym przez turystów miastem w Chorwacji. Słynie z zabytków, architektury, lokalnej kuchni i życia nocnego. W 1979r. stare miasto w Dubrowniku zostało wpisane na Listę Światowego Dziedzictwa Kulturowego UNESCO jako unikalny w Europie, zachowany w całości układ urbanistyczny średniowiecznego miasta wraz z systemem umocnień obronnych.
praise and worship music With Lyrics | "God's Will for Mankind Will Never Change " | English Christian Song
God's been in this world for many years, but who knows Him? No wonder God chastises people. Seems God uses them as objects of His authority. Seems they're bullets in His gun, and once He's fired it, they'll all escape one by one. But this is not what is real, it's their imagination. God loves people like His treasure, since they're the "capital" of His management. He will not eliminate them. He won't change His will towards them. He won't change His will towards them.
II
God has always respected humans. He hasn't once exploited or traded them like slaves. For He and man can't part. Thus a life and death bond is formed. Between man and God, God loves, cherishes humans. Though this isn't mutual, God still spends efforts on them,
as to God they still look up. God loves people like His treasure, since they're the "capital" of His management. He will not eliminate them.
He won't change His will towards them. He won't change His will towards them. He won't change His will towards them. He won't change His will towards them.
III
Can they truly trust God's oath? How can they satisfy God? This is the task for all man, the "homework" God left for all. It is God's hope that they will all work hard to complete it.

Tianxia (literally: "under heaven") is a Chinese language word and an ancient Chinese cultural concept that denoted either the entire geographical world or the metaphysical realm of mortals, and later became associated with political sovereignty. And I'd say this name suits the country well. One more shot from Guangzhou, South China.
Finally home, hope I'll have more time for the photography and flickr.
Thank you for all the comments and favs, my friends.

Στο απέραντο σύμπαν, όλα τα ουράνια σώματα κινούνται με ακρίβεια στην τροχιά τους. Κάτω από τον ουρανό, όλα τα βουνά, τα ποτάμια και οι λίμνες είναι οριοθετημένα και όλα τα πλάσματα ζουν και αναπαράγονται κατά τη διάρκεια των τεσσάρων εποχών σύμφωνα με τους νόμους της ζωής.... Τα πάντα έχουν σχεδιαστεί με τέτοια λεπτότητα — υπάρχει ο Ισχυρός Θεός που κυβερνά και οργανώνει τα πάντα; Από τότε που ερχόμαστε σε αυτόν τον κόσμο κλαίγοντας, παίζουμε διαφορετικούς ρόλους στη ζωή. Μεταβαίνουμε από τη γέννηση στο γήρας, στην ασθένεια, στον θάνατο, ζούμε μεταξύ χαράς και λύπης.... Από πού προέρχονται πράγματι οι άνθρωποι και πού πράγματι οδεύουμε; Ποιος κυβερνά τη μοίρα μας; Από την αρχαιότητα ως τη σύγχρονη εποχή, μεγάλα έθνη έχουν ακμάσει, δυναστείες έχουν έλθει και παρέλθει, και οι χώρες και οι λαοί έχουν προοδεύσει και χάθηκαν στον ρου της ιστορίας.... Όπως οι νόμοι της φύσης, έτσι και οι νόμοι της εξέλιξης της ανθρωπότητας περιέχουν άπειρα μυστήρια. Θα θέλατε να μάθετε τις απαντήσεις σε αυτά; Το ντοκιμαντέρ Αυτός που κυριαρχεί επί των πάντων θα σας καθοδηγήσει για να φτάσετε στη ρίζα τους, για να αποκαλύψετε όλα αυτά τα μυστήρια!

This year we end the Seven Days of Thanksgiving series in Paprihaven on the day after. Why? While it is wonderful to have a day set aside specifically to acknowledge our impossible debt to God by expressing our gratitude, every day should truly be a day of thanksgiving. After the amazing celebration at the Simmons,* the girls are back at Tracy's house.
Tracy: Wow. So tired. What a great time. Thank you, God.
Buckley: I'm so stuffed! I'll sleep on this bench if I can't make it upstairs.
Tracy: Who said you're staying here??
Buckley: You gotta be responsible, Trace! You can't let me drive home in this condition.
Briar: HAHAHA!
Tracy: You're not drunk! You don't even drink!
Buckley: I'm loaded with tryptophan. I can't make it. I'm DONE FOR, offissaaAAaa!
Briar: HAHA! What's 'trippafan'?
Tracy: It's an amino acid in turkey that people say makes you sleepy. I think what happened is we all just ate too much.
Briar: I ate sooooo much! I looooved that corn casserole! Who made that?
Tracy: I think Honor did.
Buckley: Ooohhh, I'm gonna pop. Let's just all get in bed, under the covers, and tell stories til we fall asleep.
Briar: That's FUN!
Buckley: But y'all GOTTA CARRY ME UUUUUUP!
Briar: HAHAHA!
Tracy: Oh, good grief. I'm stuck with both of you tonight. Are you sure you even have homes? You're always here.
Buckley: Oh! Haha! On Paprichat, Sheila Harper posted a video of her poodle grabbing a piece of turkey from the table!
Briar: I want to see that!
Tracy: Can you not be on your phone for like two seconds? And, I want to see too. And, who's Sheila Harper?

Briar: Psalm 63:3, "Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You."
...
Tracy: Buckley...
Buckley: Um... What's the one? "Please answer me God because you are loving and kind... and compassionate?"
Tracy: Close enough! Psalm 69:16, "Answer me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good; According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me." Okay, upstairs! Up!

God wants you to give thanks.
Well, Thanksgiving came and went. Did your gratitude last beyond your afternoon nap? For many, that’s the extent of their thanksgiving—a one-time, get-it-out-of-the-way holiday that reminds them to reflect on how blessed they are. Too often and too quickly, people resort back to being ingrates. But God wills us to be thankful all the time, in all things. That’s the point of 1 Thessalonians 5:18 where Paul says, “In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” So if you’re saved, Spirit-filled, sanctified, submissive, and suffering, you have one thing left to do in order to follow God’s will—be saying thanks.
Paul’s simple, direct command—in everything give thanks—allows believers no excuse for harboring ingratitude. In everything carries an unlimited requirement. It refers to everything that occurs in life. With the obvious exception of personal sin, we are to express thanks for everything. No matter what struggles or trials, God commands us to find reasons for thanking Him always (Acts 5:41; James 1:2-3; 1 Peter 1:6-9). That’s His will.
If you’re not obeying that command, you’re not following God’s will. Think of it like this: If gratitude doesn’t come easy for you, neither will finding God’s will. Or to put it another way, if you struggle with being thankful, you’ll struggle with following God’s will. Need some motivation? Here are some reasons God wills you to be thankful:
God commands it:
Gratitude should come naturally to believers in response to all God has done on their behalf, but because of our hardness of heart, God enjoins us to thanksgiving with commands (Philippians 4:6; Colossians 2:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:18). Therefore, all forms of ingratitude are sinful. Paul commanded the Colossians, “And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful” (Colossians 3:15).
When Paul describes the believer’s Spirit-filled life, he writes, “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father” (Ephesians 5:20). God doesn’t merely command those expressions of gratitude and leave believers helpless to comply. He enables us to articulate them (Philippians 2:13), and is pleased when we do.
Joni Eareckson Tada, who was involved in an accident that left her paralyzed from the neck down, writes, “Giving thanks is not a matter of feeling thankful, it's a matter of obedience.”
Thankfulness acknowledges God’s sovereignty:
The single, greatest act of worship you can render to God is to thank Him. It’s the epitome of worship because through gratitude, we affirm God as the ultimate source of both trial and blessing—and acknowledge our humble acceptance of both.
With a thankful heart, you can say in the midst of anything, “God be praised.” That kind of attitude looks beyond the circumstance to the plan of God. It sees beyond the pain to the sovereignty of God. It remembers, “God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). An attitude of thankfulness enables us to deal with those who wrong us, saying with Joseph, “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good” (Genesis 50:20). Those who are thankful see the providential hand of God everywhere and say, “God, I thank You for the peaceful times as well as the hard times—a difficult marriage, a challenging job, a severe illness—because I know You will use those things for my good and Your glory.”
The grateful Christian remembers that suffering perfects, confirms, strengthens, and establishes him (1 Peter 5:10). God wills that kind of thankfulness.
God judges ingratitude:
William Shakespeare wrote, “How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child. Ingratitude thou marble hearted fiend.” If Shakespeare understood the hostile attitude behind thanklessness, imagine what God must think about it.
Ingratitude is the very essence of an unregenerate heart, ranking among the most intolerable sins in Scripture. The apostle Paul identified unbelievers as ungrateful: “For even though they knew God [through conscience and general revelation], they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened” (Romans 1:21). Because man in his pride fails to honor and glorify God as Creator, he also refuses to thank Him for His gracious provision. Ingratitude betrays unbelief, and both sins bring about God’s judgment.
Although God is the source of every good thing that men possess—giving life, breath, rain, sunshine, and other natural blessings to the just and unjust alike (Matthew 5:45; Acts 14:15–17)—the natural man refuses to thank Him. In his fallen mind, to thank God is to acknowledge his own obligation to worship Him.
In summary, God wills our being thankful in all things because gratitude is the ultimate expression of a transformed heart. But thanklessness can infest and destroy a church, marriage, family and home. So cultivate a heart of gratitude. Be thankful for all things and in all circumstances. That’s God’s will. Are you following it?
- John MacArthur, adapted from God Wants You To Give Thanks
