When it comes to our spiritual journey, faith is the engine. It’s designed to carry us through joy, sorrow, seasons of clarity and fog.
But engines don’t run on their own; they need a spark. Thanksgiving can be that spark, the ignition that shifts our attention from worry to wonder. When we give thanks, even for small blessings like a kind word, a warm meal, physical comfort, or most of all, our relationship with Christ, we awaken our awareness of God’s presence in our lives. Faith doesn’t just start up; it begins to hum.
But life happens. A steep hill of circumstance… a jarring collision with someone else… and that engine can stall. That’s when thanksgiving becomes our jumper cables. One end touches the situation, the other connects to gratitude, and faith gets recharged.
So today, if your engine feels sluggish, reach for thanksgiving. Name one blessing. Speak one truth. Let it be the spark, the reminder that God is not finished. The journey continues, and you’re not driving alone.
Something to take a moment to consider today.
