As we end the 3rd Month of 2025, I’d like to encourage you with a devotional piece I wrote for our 5AM Global Intercession.

Devotional: "In Season and Out of Season - Give Thanks"
 
March 27, 2025 | Juanita E. L. Cameron
 
Gratitude is not meant to be confined to moments of joy or abundance; it is a posture of the heart that we are called to maintain in every circumstance. In seasons of harvest, giving thanks comes naturally. However, when we face challenges, waiting, or loss, a thankful spirit requires intention and trust in God's sovereignty.
 
The apostle Paul reminds us in 1 Thessalonians 5:18: "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." Notice Paul says "all circumstances," not just when life is easy. Gratitude is a profound act of faith—it declares that we trust God is working, even when we cannot see it.
 
In Ecclesiastes 3:1, we are reminded, "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven." God ordains each season in our lives, whether it is one of prosperity or pruning. When we trust His timing, we can thank Him for the lessons and growth He brings through every situation.
 
Finally, Psalm 34:1 declares, "I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth." This verse challenges us to make gratitude and praise a lifestyle, not a response to our circumstances.
 
Three Ways to Be Thankful In and Out of Season:
 
1. Remember God's Faithfulness (Harvest Season): When you are in a season of blessing, pause to reflect on God’s provision and faithfulness. Example: When you receive a promotion at work, thank God not only for the opportunity but for the growth and perseverance He cultivated in you to reach that point.
 
2. Trust His Plan (Waiting or Pruning Season): Gratitude can be a choice to trust God, even when life feels uncertain. Example: In times of waiting, such as seeking direction in your calling, give thanks that God’s timing is perfect and that He is preparing you for what’s ahead.
 
3. Serve Others (Difficult Season): A grateful heart is often born through giving. Example: When faced with hardship, such as illness or loss, find ways to serve someone else. It shifts your perspective and reminds you of God’s grace, even in tough times.
 
Gratitude transforms how we see the world and deepens our faith. Whether the sun shines brightly or the storm clouds gather, let us be a people who give thanks continually, trusting that God is good in every season.
 
As we prepare to transition into the 4th month and SECOND quarter of 2025 (already, wow) may we carry over an attitude of GRATITUDE.

God bless you richly and keep you in Jesus Name.

I know that these are some trying times and giving thanks can be met with some resistance, I know this oh too well, but I want to share with you some Daily Practices to Foster Gratitude that have been helping me.
 
Fostering gratitude daily can transform how you see the world and deepen your connection to God and others. Here are a few practices to cultivate a heart of thankfulness:
 

1. Start with Prayer or Scripture Reflection:

Begin your day by thanking God for specific blessings, both big and small. Reflecting on verses like Psalm 100:4 ("Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise") can set a grateful tone for the day.
 

2. Keep a Gratitude Journal:

Write down three things you’re thankful for each day. These could be simple joys like a sunny morning, encouraging words from a friend, or a moment of peace during a hectic day.
 

3. Pause and Give Thanks Before
Each Meal:

Use mealtimes as an opportunity to pause and recognize God's provision. A simple prayer of thanks can make even an ordinary meal feel sacred.
 

4. Perform Acts of Kindness:

Serving others shifts your focus from what you lack to how you can be a blessing. Whether it’s writing a note of encouragement or helping someone in need, these acts nurture a spirit of gratitude.
 

5. Practice Mindfulness in Nature:

Take a walk and thank God for the beauty around you—the blooming flowers, the warmth of the sun, or the sound of birds singing. Nature reminds us of God’s abundant creation.
 

6. Speak Words of Appreciation:

Take time to thank others—whether it’s family, friends, or even a stranger. A heartfelt “thank you” can strengthen relationships and create a ripple effect of gratitude.
 

7. End the Day with Reflection:

Before bed, review your day and thank God for His guidance and grace. Recognize the moments where His hand was evident, even if the day was challenging.
 
It may sound cliche’ but IN ALLLLLL things, let us always find a way to give GOD THANKS especially when He lets us live to see another day. Your purpose is not fulfilled until He calls you home.

God bless you richly and keep you in Jesus Name.
