Recently, God has moved me into a different season of my life. I've been struggling to find words, (why i haven't been posting). This fast has went by so quickly. It's now day ten of twenty one, and I'm well adjusted. I am blown away at the workings of the Holy Spirit. He has been moving among the people in my life, and my own life as well so strongly that it is difficult to comprehend it. Watching him capture the hearts of those around me is breathtaking. I am so incredibly blessed to watch light bulbs go off (so to speak) in people's minds as they understand the depths of God's love for the first time, or as grace is revealed to them. I have been truly inspired, and am grateful beyond words. That's been the hard thing, beyond words. I was reading in Colossians three this past weekend, and God surprised me with an answer to my problem.
Colossians 3:16
Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.
Did you read that? Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with a THANKFUL HEART.
He says to let your thankful heart sing. Sometimes, there aren't words to tell God how thankful we are. I'm at that point in my spiritual walk. This fast has filled my heart beyond it's capacity with thankfulness, awe, and adoration for Jesus. Now? I have to move past a season of talking about being thankful, and actually be thankful. Letting my heart, my actions, my thoughts, and everything I do talk for me. Sure, I'm still going to tell Daddy how grateful I am, but with my heart.
Colossians 4:2 says to "Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind, and a thankful heart."
That's exactly what this fast is doing to those who are participating. Opening our minds to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, and opening our hearts to pour out gratitude. So take some time today, and sing some songs of thankfulness with your heart. After all, it's Daddy's favorite sound. :)
-More thankful than a cow on thanksgiving.
