Key Scripture: Hebrews 13:15
Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.
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.
