🙏🏾 THANKFUL THURSDAY 🙏🏾
🌿 Thankfulness in Genesis 🌿
From the very beginning, the book of Genesis is filled with moments where gratitude rises to heaven.
✨ Noah, after the flood, built an altar and offered a sacrifice of thanksgiving (Genesis 8:20). His heart overflowed with gratitude for God’s deliverance and new beginnings.
✨ Abraham, when God promised him descendants and land, lifted up altars of worship and thanksgiving wherever he sojourned (Genesis 12:7; 13:18). His gratitude became a testimony of faith.
✨ Jacob, after his dream of the ladder reaching to heaven, vowed to give a tenth of all God would bless him with, an act of thankful devotion (Genesis 28:20–22).
Gratitude is not only about what we receive, but about recognising the God who gives, preserves, and sustains.
🙌 Today, like Noah, Abraham, and Jacob, may we offer our lives as altars of thanksgiving—acknowledging God’s faithfulness, celebrating His mercies, and trusting His promises.
🕊️ Thankfulness is the language of faith. Thanksgiving is the fragrance of worship. Gratitude is the soil where joy grows.
