Why You’re More Deceived Than You Think—And How Gratitude Fixes It

This week, we kicked off our new series, The Gratitude Economy, by exploring how deception around money and life can distort our thinking. James 1 reminds us that temptation and discontent come from within us, not from God. We often deceive ourselves by blaming God or focusing on what we lack rather than recognizing the good gifts He has given us. But there’s a cure—gratitude. When we practice thankfulness, we fight deception and shift our perspective. Want to grow in gratitude? Try The Gratitude Game!
