"Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!" (Rom. 11:33).

Our heavenly Father has given us unfathomable blessings, but we often fail to live as if they are truly ours. In Thankfulness and Confession, Brad Scheelke encourages readers to meditate on and rejoice in the glorious riches of our inheritance in Christ. As we regularly give thanks for what God has given us, our thoughts and actions will begin to change . . . often in surprising ways.

Gratitude also changes how we deal with sin. When we confess our sin, bringing it into the light of Christ's riches, we now see not only the darkness of our own evil, but also the beauty of God's holiness and grace.
