Hode Glory Gratitude

Gratitude is our obligation to acknowledge the spiritual benefits from the LORD’s Divine Providence for the general and the personal Gift of Christ Jesus’ Redemption. Thanks be unto God for the Unspeakable Gift of His Only Begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. It is our Christian privilege to find the reason for our gratitude in all things. The Apostle Paul commanded us to thank God for everything since He is the Infinite, Divine Head over all things. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you (I Thessalonians 5:18). Giving thanks is a hearty and cheerful acknowledgement of favors; spiritual, temporal and Eternal, that have been bestowed upon us. One of the Hebrew words for the LORD’s glory is hode, which means majesty, beauty, brightness, distinction, grandeur, an imposing form and appearance, beauty, comeliness, excellency, goodly, glorious, honour, majesty, splendor, honourable, copiousness, abundant, plentifully, magnificence, dignity, appearance, elevation of sentiment, language, thought and sublimity.
