Humans are born into a war. Life is full of battles. Your war is a spiritual conflict against evil principalities and powers. The Scriptures say in Ephesians 6:12, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” However, the Bible gives us strategies on how to be victorious over the trials of life. One of the strategies is to be thankful.

King David wrote in Psalm 24:7-8: “Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.” In this Psalm, David is telling the gates to open so the Lord who is mighty in battle can come in.

We are then told in Psalm 100:4, “Enter into His [God’s] gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.”

When you give thanks to the Lord, you enter into the gates where the Lord mighty in battle is located. When you are in the presence of God by putting thanksgiving on your lips and in your hearts, the Lord begins to fight your conflicts. Make it a lifestyle to thank the Lord throughout each day. As you do, you will find this is a great strategy for life’s battles.
