Yes, it all starts in the heart, whether it be thankfulness, honor, reverence, praise or, of course, sin. Our fallen nature in this world is of the latter, but God, in His mercy and grace, sent His Son so we can use our hearts for the first four! We can choose to praise God instead of dishonoring Him with the choice to sin. In all things and all circumstances, thanks be to God!
Hello, my Friend! I'm always taken aback when I realize that people who don't know Jesus as Lord and Savior cannot even make the choice that we can. It drives me to my knees for them! It motivates me to plead for them before the only One Who can give them the ability to choose!
You make an excellent observation there. Thank You, my Faithful Commenter! 😉
Amen, brother! I absolutely love the alliteration in your writing—it really helps the truth stick, and I learn so well when things are laid out that way. Thank you for the loving and needed reminder to praise God in every circumstance—and even more, to do it genuinely, from the heart. Great work!
Thank You for your kind words, Brother. I'm glad the words stick. My sentences would be a mess if they didn't! 🤣
Seriously though, I'm grateful to the Lord for the speck of talent He's put in me to cobble words together in a meaningful way. My prayer is that what I write will lead readers to the Scriptures my words reference. After all, that's where the real Good News is!
