Everyone knows money cannot buy happiness. In fact, studies show that people who are more materialistic are generally less satisfied with their lives as a whole. Gratitude, on the other hand, is closely associated with happiness. Scripture is clear on the matter as well: “Give thanks in all circumstances” (1 Thessalonians 5:16). Do you place too much emphasis on accumulating wealth? Are you thankful for the gifts God has given to you?
