ThankfulSample
Posture Your Heart.
“Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.” Psalms 18:49 KJV
Posture your heart. Lay your heart before Him and choose to worship Him. Surrender to Him and give Christ every hurt, pain and offense. Don’t let the pain of the past contaminate your future. Don’t let the pain of the past constrain your praise. Don’t let the pain of the past lord over your heart. Choose to worship God.
Genesis 8:21 KJV declares, “And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.” Let the ground of your heart send up a sweet savour to Christ. Forgive him. Forgive her. Forgive them. Bow before Christ. Don’t let the entanglement of the past choke your praise. Lift up your heart to Him.
Deuteronomy 4:24 KJV declares, “For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.” Let the Fire of God consume every part of your heart. Don’t let the sin of the past, lord over your heart. Don’t let the weight of the past weigh on your heart. Don’t let the past torment you. Let His Holy Fire burn up everything that’s not like Him. Let Christ rule and lead every area of your heart.
Let His Word pierce and redirect the course of your heart. Lay before Him and let His Word crush the entanglement of the past. Be thankful and let His Power rise above your fears, pain and failures. His Word is your weapon to disarm the enemy from invading any area of your heart. Lay before Him and let Christ heal and transform you from the inside out.
