APRIL 26 – DEVOTIONAL
DEVOTIONAL
O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.”
— Psalm 105:1–3
As we come to the close of April, this Psalm gently yet powerfully calls us into a posture of thanksgiving and praise. It invites us to pause and reflect on who God is—faithful, merciful, and ever-present—and to acknowledge the countless ways He has carried us through.
Beloved, we don’t just thank God for what He has done—we thank Him for who He is. For the gift of life. For sustaining grace. For keeping us through every high and low. For bringing us safely through another month.
Gratitude is not about repayment—it is about recognition. Even in moments of challenge, God’s hand has been upon us, shielding, preserving, and making a way where we could not see one. He has truly kept us from worse.
So let us end this month with intentional praise—counting our blessings, sharing our testimonies, and lifting His name high. As we prepare to step into a new month, may the power of His resurrection continue to work mightily within you—reviving your spirit, directing your steps, and empowering you to fulfill divine destiny.
May your life continue to overflow with fresh reasons to testify of His goodness, anchored in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
Have a spirit filled and grateful last Sunday of April. May you and your family continue to thrive in gratitude, joy, and the undeniable faithfulness of God.Shalom! 🙏🏾🙌🏾
