The Phaneroo Devotion: Parenting Series: Gratitude Expressed Through Adoption
Apostle Grace Lubega
Psalm 68:5-6(NKJV): “A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, Is God in His holy habitation. God sets the solitary in families; He brings out those who are bound into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a dry land.”

In this life, our beginnings vary greatly. Some people were blessed to grow up in comfortable households where their needs were well provided for; they inherited wealth, received a strong head start, and built upon that solid foundation to do exceptionally well today. Others came from financially disadvantaged backgrounds, facing the biting constraints of poverty, but through divine grace, hard work, and perseverance, they broke generational barriers and achieved immense success.
Regardless of which path brought you to financial stability, one truth remains: your success, comfort, and position are gifts from God. How then do you express true gratitude to God for your lot in life?
If God has blessed you with enough resources, you should never leave this world without adopting at least one child. Extending your hand, your home, and your wealth to a child who lacked the advantages you had or the breakthrough you fought for is the ultimate expression of thanksgiving. It is spiritual wisdom in action.
When you open your heart and resources to adopt, you become the hand of God executing His heart on earth. You rewrite the narrative of a child who had no advocate, giving them the same foundation or divine turnaround that changed your own story. Do not measure your success merely by what you accumulate or pass down to your biological lineage. Look at your abundance as a divine mandate to set the solitary in families, proving your gratitude to God by changing a life forever!

GOLDEN NUGGET: Do not measure your success merely by what you accumulate or pass down to your biological lineage. Look at your abundance as a divine mandate to set the solitary in families, proving your gratitude to God by changing a life forever!
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your lovingkindness and the blessings You have poured into my life. Thank You for every good start and every victory over lack. By Your grace, I use the strength and resources You have given me to bless the less privileged. My life continually demonstrates true gratitude through acts of divine love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
