As we enter this season of thankfulness, The “Why” Behind Our Gratitude invites us to look deeper than the holiday tradition and discover the spiritual foundation that fuels a truly grateful life. Gratitude isn’t just a feeling—it’s a perspective shaped by truth, anchored in God’s character, and lived out in everyday moments.

In this message, we explore three reasons our gratitude matters:

1. Every good thing I have comes from God – Recognizing God as the source of every blessing reshapes how we see our lives.

2. I will not let what I want rob me of what I have – Learning how contentment protects our joy from comparison and desire.

3. Turn every blessing I have into praise – Understanding how gratitude becomes worship when we reflect God’s goodness back to Him.

We also look at three powerful benefits that gratitude brings into our lives:

1. Gratitude keeps you in the will of God – Why thankfulness aligns our hearts with God’s purpose.

2. Gratitude makes me better, not bitter – How choosing gratitude transforms the way we respond to life’s challenges.

3. Gratitude transforms anxiety into tranquility and peace – Discovering the calming, stabilizing strength found in a thankful heart.

This Thanksgiving, we’re reminded that gratitude is more than a holiday—it’s a lifestyle that opens our eyes to God’s faithfulness and fills our hearts with peace, joy, and worship.
