That it cannot save;
Nor is His ear so dull
That it cannot hear".
A Morning Breath of Hope
Happy Monday. If you’re feeling that familiar "Monday weight"—the pressure of a new week, the pile of emails, or the lingering shadows of global news—take a deep breath. You are not entering this week as someone merely trying to survive; you are entering it as a person of hope.
In the Christian context, hope isn't just "wishful thinking" or a sunny disposition. It’s a grounded, stubborn confidence. And for that hope we need to practise "thanksgiving". Try it this week.
Before you open your calendar or check your phone, open your heart in thanksgiving. Gratitude shifts your perspective and reminds your soul that God is already working behind the scenes.
Gratitude is not reserved for perfect circumstances; it’s most powerful in the ordinary, even the difficult. As you start this day, name three things you’re thankful for. Let thankfulness be your posture before you step into your plans. It will change how you speak, think, and act.
So, begin this week with Thanksgiving.
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. (KJV)
Prayer Point: Lord, I thank You for life, breath, and purpose. Thank You for being faithful, even when I didn’t notice. Let thanksgiving fill my heart and shape my attitude today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
You don’t need to have everything figured out today.
You just need to take the first step with Him.
(Based on a KJV Devotional)
