MAY 3 – DEVOTIONAL
First Sunday Gratitude: Honoring the God of All Grace
“I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever… One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.” — Psalm 145:1–4
On this first Sunday of a new month, we lift grateful hearts to the God of all grace—thanking Him for the gift of life, His unfailing goodness, and the privilege to share His mighty works from generation to generation.
Like David, we choose a lifestyle of praise: “I will exalt You… every day I will praise You.” Every new month is proof of His sustaining grace and faithfulness.
Beloved, our praise is not just personal—it is generational. As we begin this month, let all we do start with thanksgiving and praise, knowing that His presence dwells in the midst of worship (Psalm 22:3). In His presence, there is peace, power, and fullness of joy.
So let your praise be intentional. Let your gratitude be bold. Let your worship become your legacy.
Have a blessed and praiseful Sunday.
May you and your family be strengthened and encouraged as you continue to give God your highest praise. As you declare His goodness and recount His mighty works, remember: your worship today is shaping the faith of generations to come. Shalom!🙏🙌🏾
