230420 – Gratitude In Your Heart | TBS Devotions

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

~ Colossians 3:16

Christ is rich to all who choose to believe him and listen to his message.  His Word is active and alive, powerful enough to break the chains of doubts, disbelief insecurities and all other false identity that might crowd our minds. 

As we start a new day, we can meditate on the goodness of the Lord.  He is giving us a fresh start.  May we learn to be thankful for his provision, his protection and for his compassion towards us. 

Jesus wants us to spread his message, through our words, seasoned with grace and through our attitude toward people.   One way for this to happen is by taking time to read and sing the Psalms.  If you don’t know how to sing it, read it, pray over it and declare the blessings over your life and the lives of your loved one.  Take time to sing songs of praise. Don’t wait on Sunday!  Allow the Spirit of God to fill the place where you are and you will see for yourself, that the atmosphere will change. God will provide the wisdom you need to speak His Word over your situation, in your relationship with your family and friends.  He will grant you the grace to fellowship with Him and enjoy his presence. 

There is no better place than to dwell in the presence of our Lord God.  May we long to experience Him in the small and the big things of our lives.  Our hearts will be filled with gratitude as we become more and more aware of what He is doing in our lives. 


Prayer:

Jesus, my Lord and Savior.  I worship you.  I love you.  I want to invite you to fill my heart and make it new.  Make me sensitive to your direction.  Show me the way I should go.  Lord use me as an instrument of peace in your hand and make me sensitive to the needs of the people you put in my life.  Amen.
