Gratitude for Who He Is

Welcoming The Holy Spirit Series

September 27 – Appreciation – What are three things that you appreciate about God?

💖 Scripture for the Day

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.”
— Psalm 136:1

Reflection

When we take time to appreciate God—not just for what He’s done, but for who He is—our hearts are transformed. Gratitude draws us close to His presence. It reminds us that even when life feels uncertain, His nature remains constant: He is good, faithful, and full of mercy.

Sometimes, we get so focused on our requests that we forget to pause and adore. But the Spirit invites us today to shift from asking to appreciating. When we slow down to recognize God’s character—His patience, wisdom, kindness, and strength—we begin to rest in His heart.

As you reflect on His goodness, let gratitude overflow. Appreciation is a form of worship—it lifts our eyes from ourselves and fixes them on the One who never changes.

Daily Practice

Write down three things you appreciate about God today. Consider His attributes—His love, patience, faithfulness, or wisdom. Speak them out loud as a declaration of praise.
