MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Monday
January 20, 2020
Topic: Develop A Grateful Heart
Text: Psalm 66:13 – 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
(Leviticus 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 (Ecclesiastics 5:4 & 5).
When
God answers our prayers whether vows was made or not, we should testify to
those that fear God about what He did for our us, and how He has 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.
In
our text, 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 way to receive more blessings 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 retrospect of your life and
see if there are reasons to praise God today and always.
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)
Memory verse: Psalm 66:20
Prayer: Lord
God, grant me a heart of gratitude in Jesus name.
