A HEART
OF GRATITUDE Wednesday January

Psalm 66:13 – 20 Memory verse: v
20
From our text, we can see the importance
of testimonies in our congregational worship. Here the psalmist says that the
varied offering constitutes the vow (Lev. 22:18–23) he made to God when he was
in trouble. Most people when faced with dangers, sicknesses and even death,
make vows. This is very common. But when we make vows especially in time of
distress, sickness or trouble, we should fulfill those vows (Eccl. 5:4 & 5).
When God answers our prayers whether vows was made or not, we should testify to
the people of God, of what He has done for us; how He heard and answered our
prayers, inviting them to join us in prayer and praise. This will turn to our
mutual comfort, and to the glory of God.
Here, the Psalmist expressed his
gratitude to God for he prayed and got an answer from Him. When we pray in
simplicity and godly sincerity, our prayers will be answered too. This should
excite gratitude to Him who didn’t turn away our prayers or His mercy from us.
Expression of gratitude is one best ways to receive more because it encourages
God to do more for us. How grateful are you for all God has done for you? Think
about it as you go forth into the world today. Take a retrospective view of
your life and see if there are reasons to praise God.
Food
for Thought:
O Lord, I am very, very grateful, for all you have done for me, O Lord I am
very, very grateful and I say thank you Jesus (Song)
Prayer: Lord God, grant me a heart of gratitude in Jesus name.
