When Jesus gave thanks, miracles followed. Whether breaking bread with His disciples, feeding five thousand with five loaves and two fish, or standing before Lazarus’ tomb, Jesus began each moment with gratitude. Even as the shadow of the cross loomed over Him, He gave thanks—teaching us that thanksgiving isn’t a reaction to blessing; it’s the seed that produces it. In every circumstance, giving thanks releases God’s power to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.
In a world filled with uncertainty, the spirit of thanksgiving is our weapon against fear and despair. Like King David declared, “Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” When we choose gratitude, even in times of personal storms or national crisis, we invite God’s presence into our lives. Give thanks today—not because everything is perfect, but because God is still on the throne.
