FAITH CAPSULE: Praising and thanking God shall give access to a favorable lifting.
Psalm 145
What God says to one speaks to all.
God spoke to the children of Israel, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord…” (Jeremiah 29:11-14)
God wants peace for all; He wants a hopeful future for all; He wants attention by communicating with all; He wants all to seek him diligently.
Out of His goodness and mercy, He sent His son so that what He wants for all shall become established.
John 3:16-17 records, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
The point is that God invested so much in all, but all extend less to God.
After many years of privileged life which the Lord God bestows upon you, how much have you extended to Him?
This season, a time God has given you, how are you living for God?
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 states, “To everything, there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted.”
All should be occupied by thinking of living life to glorify God.
Allow your expectations to change from material gain to walking in the ways of God.
Deuteronomy 5:33 states, “You shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.”
Walk in all the ways of the command of God, seeking God first.
Seeking God will no doubt fulfill the desires.
Jesus buttress when He said, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” (Matthew 6:33-34)
A better way to seek God is in praising Him to glorify Him and thanking Him to magnify Him.
Let your moments be in constant thanksgiving.
Give thanks to God for all things and in all things, He is doing to experience favorable uplifting.
Prayer for today: Ask that you be enabled giving thanksgiving to have a place in your life.
