Psalm 7:17 - "I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness; I will sing the praises of the name of the Lord Most High."
The process of fermentation has long been a culinary practice, known to enrich foods with complex flavors and healthful properties. As time progresses, the fermenting food transforms, becoming more profound and flavorful. Our faith too undergoes a similar metamorphosis when fermented with gratitude.
When we thank God for His unwavering righteousness and the promises He keeps, our faith deepens and matures. Like a wine that becomes richer with age, our trust in God grows stronger, and our praises become heartfelt songs resonating with authenticity.
Through life's ebbs and flows, it's crucial to remember God's consistent character. His righteousness is not swayed by our circumstances, and His love for us remains unaltered. As we continually express our thankfulness for His righteousness, we solidify our faith, letting it ferment into a deep-rooted belief system.

Morning Prayer:
Lord Most High, I am grateful for Your unwavering righteousness. As I walk this journey of faith, let my heart consistently sing praises of Your goodness and love. Amen.
