With My Whole Heart!!
“I will praise you, O Lord, with my whole heart: I will show forth (recount and tell aloud) all your marvelous works and wonderful deeds! I will rejoice in You and be in high Spirits: I will sing praises to your Name, O Most High.” Psalms 9:1-2 Amplified Bible
What an awesome Psalms. Here is King David, a man with a heart after God but a man who made all kinds of mistakes, who stumbled and fell many times but got back up, took action and pursued God with his whole being.
Like David, I can say, “I will Praise you O Lord. I will Praise you, I will Praise you with my whole heart, with my whole being will I exalt You. I will show forth, I will recount all that you have done. How you have been with me, how you have comfort me, how you have given me the strength to walk this path that I am on. Not only will I recount it, I will tell aloud of all that you have done, of your marvelous works, of the changes that you have brought into my life, of your provisions, of your guidance and of your deeds on my behalf.
I will rejoice in you Lord and I will be in High Spirits, I will sing Praises to your Name, O Most High. I will be exceedingly glad in you. Even this day, I will rejoice in my Lord and Savior. I will exalt Him and declare His mighty name and His life changing power.
How are you today?
Are you cast down? Heavy burdened?
Then like David, take action, don’t allow the enemy of your soul to rob you of that which the Lord has given you. Set your heart to worship the Lord, even when it does not make sense, even when you don’t feel like it. I am here to tell you that as you begin to worship the Lord, to open your heart, your mouth, your spirit and just begin to give thanks, as you make that sacrifice of praise He will give you the strength that you need to walk this day and each day.
Watch and see the Lord work on your behalf. It is a process and it will not happen over night, but it will happen as you pursue Him and give Him that sacrifice of Praise, even in the dark night of the soul, worship and praise will bring a freedom to you, it will bring release, as you lay it all at the feet of Jesus.
Take time to lift your heart to the Lord and let Him know how you feel and then release it to Him. Whether in song, in words, in prayer or worship, release it all to Him this day!
Till Later,
Paul
