UPHILL DAILY DEVOTION
Day 15 – January 15, 2026
Topic: Thanking God for Life and Health
Introduction
Life is a gift and health is a blessing. Many times we wake up breathe move and go through our day without realizing how much God is doing for us. Every heartbeat every breath and every new morning is a sign of His mercy. Gratitude keeps our hearts soft and reminds us that we depend on God for everything. When we thank Him for life and health we honour Him and strengthen our faith. A thankful heart sees God’s goodness even in ordinary moments.
