Sharing with Sharyn: Gratitude
By Sharyn Culp
(Inspired by the Holy Spirit)

Gratitude
Shout with joy to the Lord, O earth!
Worship the Lord with gladness.
Come before him, singing with joy.
Acknowledge that the Lord is God!
He made us, and we are his.
We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
go into his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him and bless his name.
For the Lord is good.
His unfailing love continues forever,
and his faithfulness continues to each generation.
(Psalm 100)

Greetings to you in the name of His Majesty!

What a wonderful season this is... Thanksgiving! Actually, Thanksgiving is one of my very favorite holidays. Do you know why? Because I feel it is a special reminder to us that we constantly have the opportunity to focus on and be thankful for all His Majesty has done for us. That’s right... for ALL He has done for us. If I were to ask each of you to share something for which you are thankful, you would no doubt share something different. But do you know what, one thing we can all agree upon and be really thankful for is that Jesus loved each and every one of us enough to die for us on a cruel cross of crucifixion and position us so we could be saved and set free from Satan’s bad plans and destruction for our lives. Can you think of anything greater for which to be thankful? The other day a lady was sharing with me that her favorite song is "Amazing Grace". I gave her comment some thought. Could there be anything greater than the grace of God upon our lives? Let’s ponder these wonderful words for a moment and see if some gratitude doesn’t rise up in your heart... "I once was lost and now I’m found... was blind, but now I see." Truly, we have so much for which to be grateful. If you had been the only person ever born, Jesus would have gone to Calvary and died just for you. When the Enemy, Satan, lies to you and tells you that no one loves you, you tell him, "Satan, you are a liar. Jesus loved me enough to die for me". What an awesome Jesus!

Speaking of the word grateful, let’s talk about it for a moment. I looked up a similar word, the word "gratitude" in Webster’s and it means "the state of being grateful: thankfulness". Then I starting thinking about some scriptures referencing thanksgiving and I would like to share them with you for your encouragement and edification.

"In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful."

"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."

"Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing."

Let’s spend some time this Thanksgiving meditating on the Word of God and all His Majesty means to us! Amen.

We would like to share that we are so very thankful for each of you. We love you, appreciate you and are praying for you. Through your diligent prayer endeavors as a member of His Majesty's Worldwide Prayer Sanctuary, His Majesty is establishing His Kingdom come, His will be done, on earth as it is in heaven worldwide (Matt. 6:10). Even though at times what we are "seeing" would tell us otherwise, we must be faithful and persistent to continue to pray and move in faith as His Majesty aligns this world with His plan and purpose. How exciting!

We bless you with a most blessed Thanksgiving from His Majesty!

His Majesty loves you!

See you in the Spirit...
