2 Sam 7:1-2
After the king was settled in his palace and the Lord had given him rest from all his enemies around him, 2 he said to Nathan the prophet, "Here I am, living in a palace of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent."
NIV
God brought David from the wilderness into a beautiful palace as He promised; David’s natural response was to want to build a house for the lord.
I don’t know what God has done for you that He promised, but like David, I want you to forget not all God’s benefits and let a heart of thanksgiving inspire a physical sacrifice of thanks. This is the heart of a man who is a son and no more a spiritual babe. One of the characteristics of babies is they always take and never give back, they have no responsibilities.
God blesses and establishes any man with this kind of heart because God rewards every labor of love (see Heb 6:10).
Go into today with a renewed determination to have a heart that is after God; have a thankful heart and one that is willing to give to His work here on earth. One way you can start is by freely distributing these devotionals to your friends and loved ones on the social media (eg, Whatsapp, Facebook, BBM, etc.) as the lord leads you. God blesses you as you take responsibility in the kingdom. Many young Christians today wake up not picking up their bibles but checking their smartphones for updates. Our vision is to take the word of God in devotionals and bible readings to such. You can join in the campaign by sharing this devotional daily with your contacts. Always remember that the grace of God is sufficient for you and you are always progressing from glory to glory (see Prov 4:18)
Prayer: Dear Heavenly father, I thank you for your word today. I pray that you give me a heart that longs more for you, that like David, I will be willing to do great things for your kingdom here on earth. Thank you lord for hearing me, in Jesus name I pray. Amen
