Thanksgiving brings blessings
Even in these difficult times, letās be grateful and give
thanks to God for the good that we have and the good that He desires
and has promised to give us.
Often we are obsessed and consumed with what we donāt have instead of
looking to God and His eternal provision for us.
Sometimes we get resentful because God has allowed something in our
lives that hurts us or because we are not seeing the manifestation of
the thing we have asked for. God said to me one time when I was
complaining to Him about something, āYou need to be grateful that this
problem is not nearly as bad as the devil intended it to be.ā
We can always give thanks if we remember that through prayer and the
mercy of God we are saved from the worst that the devil can do to us
and that as we persist in prayer and obedience to the Word all things
in our lives will be perfected according to the will of God.
Just because we donāt see instant results we should never doubt that
the power of God is being applied to every situation that concerns us
as we pray according to His Word and obey Him in all that we know to do.
Once weāve prayed for something that we are promised in the Word ā"
healing, deliverance, provision, whatever ā"we need to begin thanking
God for the manifestation of that thing in our lives even before we see
it. This is faith.
We canāt be double minded and wonder about Godās promise. The book of
James says a double-minded person never receives anything from God.
(James 1:6-7)
As we thank God for that thing, it is brought out of the spirit world
and manifested in this earthly realm. Thanksgiving will produce a
harvest in our lives. The word tells us āDo not be weary in well doing
for in due time you shall reap if you faint not.ā (Gal. 6:9) Many give
up on their promise from God because they grow weary trying to endure
until that ādue time.ā
Letās not faint and quit, but letās practice patience and keep pressing
in by reminding ourselves of the Word and being diligent to pray with
thanksgiving.
We thank God not for the problem we have, but for His provision to take
care of it and to perfect those things that concern us, according to
His word (Psalm 138:8).

Depression is a terrible thing but you can overcome it to live a normal life again, and once you have learnt how to cope with it, you need never fear succumbing to its depths ever again.
Yet Jesus tells her of an indwelling source. He tells her of an endless supply. He tells her of a well of springing water.
