Key Scripture: Colossians 3:16

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly… singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Devotional

A grateful life is cultivated, not accidental. Rooted in Christ, we learn a rhythm of noticing, naming, and narrating God’s goodness in all we do.

Gratitude and contentment walk hand in hand. As we abide in Jesus, we discover enoughness in Him that frees us from comparison and hurry.

Thankfulness turns ordinary moments into altars—meals into communion, chores into worship, work into witness. With hearts tuned to praise, our lives become invitations to trust the Giver.

End this month leaning forward into a lifestyle of thanksgiving. Let your words, work, and worship say, ‘Jesus is worthy,’ and may others join the song.
