The Medlock Post Ep. 37 Special Thanksgiving Message
Gratitude in all circumstances: Susan Evans McCloud
What is “thanks-giving”? What is gratitude? And,
beyond them, what is rejoicing?
Rejoicing is a state of spirit, a state of being, more
expansive than just a state of mind. In its purity it is the eternal in man
reaching toward deity. And, as he approaches his Father, learns of him, and
becomes like him, he experiences a state of rejoicing, or joy.
Psalms 37:4 encourages readers to “delight thyself also in the Lord, and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." That is a rather compelling promise. In Deuteronomy, we are encouraged to “rejoice in every good thing” (Deuteronomy 26:11). By opening their hearts, people can notice and recognize the things of beauty and goodness around them that bring delight, that lift their hearts from pathways of discouragement and doubt.
