A quiet shift can change an entire day: noticing the small things. We lean into Luke 16:10 to explore how faithfulness in little moments forms the backbone of trust when life gets heavy. Rather than waiting for dramatic breakthroughs to feel grateful, we practice seeing God’s hand in simple gifts—a warm meal, a kind smile, the right word at the right time—and discover how those daily mercies prepare us for bigger tests.

We walk through a simple challenge you can try right now: list ten small blessings from the last 24 hours. It’s more than a feel-good exercise; it retrains attention, softens a hard heart, and builds spiritual reflexes that steady you when pressure rises. You’ll hear a short, heartfelt prayer to anchor the habit and language you can make your own. Along the way, we connect gratitude to resilience, showing why documenting small goodness today becomes the evidence you’ll rely on tomorrow.

If you’ve been searching for clarity, strength, or a fresh start, this conversation offers a grounded path back to peace. Expect practical steps, warm encouragement, and a renewed lens for everyday life. Try the ten-blessing list, thank God for each one, and watch how your focus shifts from scarcity to steady care. If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend who could use a lift, and leave a quick review to help others find the show. Then tell us: what’s one small blessing you noticed today?

Still Standing: Living After the Silence, the Storm, and the Shattered Heart is the powerful second book in the Standing Series. Building on the best-selling Struggle to Standing, this new release guides you through life after heartbreak with hope, healing, and faith. Now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover.

00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:06.559
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:07.759
I'm Rick.

00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:12.880
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:16.640
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom.

00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:18.559
Ready to feel inspired?

00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:20.399
Let's get started.

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:23.440
And now, weekends with Lauren.

00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:29.120
Today is day 312.

00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:31.359
Thankfulness even in the small things.

00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:35.920
We'll be in Luke chapter 16, verse 10 from the New Living Translation.

00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:43.039
Hey, it's Saturday, and today we're focusing on how gratitude in the small things changes everything.

00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:48.719
If you are faithful in the little things, you will be faithful in large ones.

00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:56.000
We often look for big reasons to be thankful, but gratitude is cultivated in the little things.

00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.039
God's blessings show up every single day.

00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:08.480
In the beauty of creation, a smile from a friend, a meal on the table, and when we thank him for those, we begin to see his hand everywhere.

00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:13.599
Gratitude in the small things prepares you for the big things.

00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:18.480
If you can see God in the details, you'll never doubt him in the difficulties.

00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.439
So here's what I want you to do.

00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:26.480
I want you to write down 10 small blessings from the last 24 hours.

00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:29.120
Things you might normally overlook.

00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:34.000
Thank God for each one and ask him to help you notice his goodness more often.

00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:35.840
And let's pray together.

00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:40.640
Lord, thank you for the little ways you remind me of your love every single day.

00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:46.560
Teach me to live in constant gratitude so my heart stays soft and my faith stays strong.

00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:47.519
Amen.

00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:53.040
I'll see you tomorrow as we continue to build a heart of gratitude together.

00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.519
Well, that's all for today.

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:04.560
But remember, I'm here every weekend, and you should be too.

00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:11.280
The executive producer for Wisdom for the Day, Weekends with Lauren, is Kimmy Shirley.

00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.759

00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:22.000

I'm so glad we had this time together.

00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.520
And don't forget, he's not finished writing your story.

00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:36.159
Come back next time and we'll keep walking it out together here on weekends with Lauren.

00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.120
I love you all so much.

00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:41.360
