Daily Devotional - Thanksgiving - Week 45 - Day 309 - 11/5/25 - "Grace Worth Celebrating"

Author: Evangelist Lisa Dalton

“Grace Worth Celebrating”
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:4, NIV

“I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.”

Devotion:
Paul begins his letter to the Corinthians not with correction, but with gratitude. He sees the grace of God at work in them—despite their flaws, questions, and growing pains. This verse reminds us to celebrate the spiritual growth of others, even when they’re still in process. It’s easy to focus on what people lack. But Paul models a heart that sees what God is doing and gives thanks.

Going Deeper:

• Who in your life are you thankful for because of the grace you’ve seen in them?
• How can you encourage someone today by naming the evidence of God’s work in their life?
• What would change if you started each prayer with gratitude for others?

Today’s Challenge:
Send a message or say a word of encouragement to someone whose faith journey inspires you. Let them know you see God’s grace in them—and that you’re thankful.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the people You’ve placed in my life. Help me to see them through the lens of Your grace. Teach me to celebrate their growth, encourage their journey, and speak life into their calling. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
