Cultivate a thankful HEART !!!

I will Bless the Lord at all times. Psalm 34:1
David said, i will praise the Lord at all times, I will constantly speack of His Praise,I will boast only in the Lord, let all who are discouraged take heart.
A thankful heart should be our way of life for us. But do you KNow that giving thanks can save your life? Jonah while he was trapped in the belly of the whale gave thanks to the Lord saying Jonah 2:9"But i will sacrife unto thee the voice of my thanksgiving". And when he did God made the fish spit him out on a dry land.
When we are in problems and all hell seems to be about to break loose, is the time to raise our voice to exalt the lord knowing that he is the very present help in the times of trouble Psalm 46:1.Nothing demonstrates trust like thanking God when you are in the throes of crisis.
Note this a thankful does two things:

1)It builds your faith: thre reason we can work by faith and not by sight(2 corinthians 5:7) is because we know that regardless of the situation or circumstance God is working on our behalf(romans 8:28)"all things work together for good to them that love God" David said magnify the Lord with me Psalm 34:4. To magnify something is to enlarge it.When you focus on God and not the problem what you are doing is making Him bigger and the problem smaller. Plus faith cometh by hearing the word of God(ROmans 10:17) Hearing God's promises coming out of your own lips, cuases your faith to rise in your heart.so start talking.

2)it restores Life. Before raising Lazarus from the dead ,Jesus gave thanks to God, looked up to the heavens and said Father...thamk you that you have heard me. And i know that you will always hear me (John 11:41-42). something wonderful happens when we start thanking God for saving, protecting and providing for you. Your faith soars. You gain the faith to speak to those things in your life that you thought were dead, to live again. So, cultivate a thankful heart!



Work the Word that the WORD may work for you
