As the aroma of Thanksgiving dinner fills homes across America, it’s a fitting moment to reflect not just on the material blessings but on the spiritual ones too. Thanksgiving, at its core, is about gratitude, and who better to be thankful to than Yahweh, the Giver of all good things?
The Essence of Gratitude
Gratitude isn’t just good manners; it’s a cornerstone of spiritual health. In the Bible, we’re reminded time and again to cultivate a heart of thankfulness. Philippians 4:6 tells us, ‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to Elohim.’
Isn’t that powerful? Here, gratitude is not just a response to blessings but a precursor to peace. By being thankful, we’re not just acknowledging what we’ve received; indeed, we’re opening our hearts to receive more.”
Stories of Thanks
Now, let me share some of my personal stories with you. I remember a time when I was at my lowest, facing challenges that seemed too big to handle. It was in that moment of despair that I found myself thankful to Yahweh for the smallest things—yes, my ability to breathe, the warmth of the sun, the kindness of strangers. It really changed my perspective.
Or consider the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17:11-19, where only one returns to thank Yahshua for healing. Yahshua remarks, ‘Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to Elohim except this foreigner?’ Yes, this story isn’t just about healing; it’s a clear lesson about gratitude.
Thanksgiving in Practice
On this Thanksgiving, let’s make it a practice to be grateful to our Father in heaven Yahweh and His bountiful blessings. Here are some ways:
Start with Prayer: Thank Almighty Yahweh for His blessings, big and small. Psalm 100:4 says, ‘Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name.’
Count Your Blessings: Literally, write them down. This act of enumeration can transform our outlook on life.
Share the Thanksgiving: Extend your table. Sharing what we have not only reflects Yahweh’s generosity but also multiplies our joy.
Reflect and Repurpose: Use this day to not just thank Yahweh for what you have but to plan how you can use your blessings to bless others.
As we wrap up today’s episode, remember, Thanksgiving is more than a day; it’s a mindset. Colossians 3:17 reminds us, ‘And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of Messiah Yahshua, giving thanks to Yahweh the Father through him.’ Let’s carry this spirit of gratitude beyond November into every day, making every day a Thanksgiving for Yahweh and all His blessings to us all.

Brethren, before I go, let me pray this prayer for you: May Yahweh bless you and keep you; may Yahweh make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may Yahweh lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. I humbly pray all these things to Yahweh through Yahshua the Messiah, our Master and coming King, amen. Kindly keep praying for the shalom of Israel. Take care. Halleluyah!
