MAY 17 – DEVOTIONAL
Gratitude To The Unchangeable God of All Grace
Psalm 33:1–5,11
“Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful… The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations.”
God reveals that He is righteous, faithful, loving, and completely unchangeable. His Word is true, His works are done in faithfulness, and His plans can never fail. In a world filled with uncertainty and changing circumstances, our God remains constant, dependable, and worthy of continual praise.
Beloved, giving praise to God is more than a response to blessings — it is an acknowledgment of who He is. He is the unchangeable God whose mercy never runs out, whose truth never fades, and whose love never fails. When we praise Him in every season, our hearts are lifted above fear, discouragement, and uncertainty. Praise reminds us that the One who held us yesterday is the same God guiding us today and preparing our tomorrow.
As we rejoice in the God of all grace, let gratitude overflow from our hearts for His faithfulness, provision, protection, and everlasting love. His counsel stands forever, and every promise He has spoken remains sure.
Have a praiseful Sunday, and may you and your family be encouraged to rejoice in the Lord, trust His unchanging plans, and walk confidently in the abundance of His grace, peace, and unfailing love.Shalom!🙏🙌🏾
