In this episode of Seeking with Shari, “How do You say Thanks!”, Shari explores the transformative power of gratitude. Released just ahead of the Thanksgiving season, this message challenges us to look beyond our immediate lack and find the abundance that comes from a thankful heart. Even when resources seem scarce, giving thanks is the key that unlocks the fullness of God’s provision.
Through her message and these powerful scriptures, she illuminates the connection between gratitude and abundance:
-
John 10:10 – “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full”. This verse establishes that God’s intention for us is not scarcity, but a vibrant, abundant life that overflows with His presence and peace.
-
Matthew 14:19 – “Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves.”. Before the miracle of multiplication could happen, Jesus first gave thanks for what little was there. This illustrates that gratitude is often the catalyst for God’s miraculous provision.
-
Philippians 4:11-12 – “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want”. Paul teaches us that true abundance is a state of heart—a “secret” of contentment found in Christ that remains steady regardless of external circumstances.
