Monday-2 Corinthians 4.1-7: As we read the context of our message on Sunday we see thanksgiving is tied to the work of Jesus, the Gospel. As we share the Gospel we will grow in thanksgiving. Make of list of those who need Jesus and pray for them to see Him.

Tuesday-2 Corinthians 5.11-6.2: We look at people as God looks at them: those who need the Savior Jesus Christ. How are you sharing Jesus to others? What are you doing to share Jesus in your circle of influence?

Wednesday-Psalm 116.1-19: Paul quotes this Psalm in our text from Sunday; what sticks out to you? How can you sacrifice a thanks offering to Jesus?

Thursday-Lamentations 3.22-24: How have you seen God lately? Spend some time reflecting on His goodness and grace.

Friday-2 Corinthians 1.18-22: God is faithful! Jesus is the answer! The Holy Spirit guarantees we can look to the future with hope, and thus be thankful in the present.
