Live Special Thanksgiving Prophetic Worship Gathering

The Bible tells us that we should “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians: 5:18). Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to spend with your family and loved ones to reflect upon and be grateful for all the blessings you’ve received from God. On the first Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims thanked God for their safe deliverance, their children’s health, the fertility of their fields, and their faith which bound them to God. Painting by Jennie Augusta Brownscombe of the First Thanksgiving Psalm 107 has often been called the “Pilgrims’ Psalm,” as this simple Bible verse gives thanks to God for his mercy in protecting seafarers and mariners during lengthy and hazardous sea voyages. The Pilgrims used Psalm 107 to express their gratitude to God for delivering them safely to their new home in America. “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever” (Psalm 107:1). Psalm 107 also talks about the Hebrews who were wandering desert wastelands, finding nowhere to settle. Their wandering was similar to that of the Pilgrims. The people asked God for help, and “he delivered them from their distress. He led them … to a city where they could settle.” (Psalm 107:6-7). This powerful scripture is a prayer of thanksgiving, thanking God for rescuing the “redeemed,” God’s chosen people, after a difficult journey.
