Reading: Psalm 34:1; Daniel 6:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Devotional: Thanksgiving is not a holiday—it's a lifestyle. Daniel prayed and gave thanks three times daily, even under threat of death. The early church praised God daily, and God added to their number daily. Spiritual health requires daily gratitude, just as physical health requires daily breath.

Today, commit to making thanksgiving your spiritual rhythm. Thank God in the morning for new mercies, at midday for sustaining grace, and at night for His faithfulness. Don't wait for Thanksgiving Day to practice gratitude; make every day a thanksgiving day. When praise becomes your daily discipline, you develop spiritual muscle memory. Your heart learns to turn toward God automatically. Gratitude is not occasional; it's continual. As you practice thanksgiving daily, you become an atmosphere-changer, carrying God's presence wherever you go.
