Title: The Power of Gratitude and Thanksgiving
By: Jemimah Akpam
Date: 30.10.2024
“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.” Psalm 100:4
True gratitude runs deep. Itโs not merely a fleeting feeling of thankfulness for our blessings, but a soul-rooted response to Godโs profound grace and love. Real gratitude is anchored in the understanding that God, in His infinite mercy, has given us far more than we deserve. Itโs a response to His kindness, faithfulness, and the unchanging nature of His love, no matter what season of life weโre in.
When we reflect on Psalm 100:4, weโre invited to “enter his gates with thanksgiving”. This phrase isnโt just about expressing surface-level thanks; itโs an invitation to draw closer to God with hearts overflowing with gratitude. Gratitude opens the gates of His presence, and itโs through thanksgiving that we come face-to-face with the One who knows us, sustains us, and redeems us.
The depth of gratitude grows when we recognize Godโs grace in every corner of our lives. Think of moments when He provided when it seemed impossible, healed when we felt broken, and stayed faithful even when our faith wavered. Each of these moments cultivates a deeper well of thankfulness, not only for what He has done but for who He is. This depth of gratitude is a wellspring that sustains us, especially in challenging times, because weโre reminded that God is always with us, working for our good.
When we live from a place of deep gratitude, we transform our outlook on life. Every day becomes a gift, every blessing a reminder of Godโs love, and every trial an opportunity to grow closer to Him. We see that gratitude is not just for what God gives, but for His very presence, which never leaves us.
Reflection:
- What are some moments in your life when Godโs grace changed everything?
- What three things can you thank God for today.
Prayer Points:
Let’s thank God for his boundless love and grace towards us.
Let’s pray that He helps us to cultivate a heart of gratitude to see His goodness in every season of our lives.
Let’s thank God for the countless ways He blesses us every day.
