November 27, 2025 – A Song of Thanks in Every Season
Sermon: 2205 How to Handle Stress, part 1
Pray Over This
“Giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Ponder This
When should we be thankful? This verse says “always.” If he had said “sometimes,” it wouldn't be so hard. Why always? Because every day we receive a fresh delivery of benefits.
Also consider these promises: "Blessed be the Lord who daily loadeth us with benefits" (Psalm 68:19, KJV). The Lord’s mercies and compassion are “new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness" (Lamentations 3:23, KJV).
With my first waking thoughts, first thing out of bed, I try to lift my heart to God in praise. Develop the habit of saying, “Lord God, I love You, I praise You. Your mercies are new every morning. Great is Thy faithfulness.”
What should our thanks be for? For all things. During loss and heartache, you can thank Him for your faith. Thank Him that you're saved and on the way to Heaven, "singing to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs…making melody in your heart to the Lord” (see Ephesians 5:19). If you're a child of God, whatever your condition is, you ought to be able to thank God every day. No matter what happens, thank Him for your faith. If you have food to eat, thank Him for your food. If you have clean water to drink—and many don’t—thank Him for clean water. Do you have friends and family? Thank Him for them!
One of the greatest acts of faith that you can ever perform is just simply to say, “Oh God, no matter what, I will praise you. I will bless you for all things.”
When life brings both blessings and burdens, how can you choose to see God’s faithfulness and offer Him thanks “always”?
Are you in the habit of beginning your day with gratitude, lifting your heart to God in praise for His daily mercies? If not, today is the best day to start.
Practice This
This week, start each morning by speaking aloud a word of thanks to God before checking your phone or rushing into tasks. Pause and say: “Lord, I thank You for Your new mercies today. Great is Your faithfulness.”
