About this listen

Thanksgiving is more than polite words when life goes well.
Biblical thanksgiving is a way of life—rooted not in circumstances, but in the unchanging character of God.

In this episode, we journey through Psalm 138:1–8, a psalm written by David not in comfort, but in fear, pressure, and opposition while he was running from Saul. Yet, from that difficult place, David chose wholehearted praise—and his words continue to strengthen believers today.

In this teaching, you’ll discover:

  • Why true thanksgiving begins with a whole heart

  • How gratitude is a choice, not a reaction to outcomes

  • Why thanksgiving must be God-centered, not comparison-driven

  • How remembering God’s past faithfulness fuels present gratitude

  • Why thanksgiving exalts God above circumstances

  • How humility strengthens a lifestyle of gratitude

  • Why thanksgiving trusts God even in the middle of trouble

  • The power of Psalm 138:8 — “The Lord will perfect that which concerns me”

This episode reminds us that thanksgiving does not deny pain or difficulty. Instead, it invites God into our struggles, because He inhabits the praises of His people.

If you are walking through uncertainty, pressure, delay, or transition, this message will encourage you to anchor your gratitude in who God is—and trust Him to finish what He has started.
