"Thank You Is The Key"
[12] As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance [13] and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” [14] When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. [15] One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. [16] He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. [17] Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?
Luke 17:12-17 NIV
If Jesus has healed you, delivered you from something you thought you'd be forced to carry for the rest of your life...
If Jesus has wiped the slate clean and given you a fresh start....Then you should be the 1st person running back to Him in prayer, in worship, in praise; thanking Him.
He shouldn't have to question your whereabouts, He shouldn't even have to talk about your absence.
His Holy Spirit shouldn't have to make you feel convicted. His Holy Spirit shouldn't have to grieve because of you.
Ephes 4:30, Acts 2:37
When you needed Him, He didn't have to chase you down....You were right there, crying out to Him for help.
When you needed Him, He didn't have to look for you...
You were there, pursuing Him. So, Don't switch up on Him now, keep that same hunger, that same desperation you had for Him then.
Thank you Is The Key.(Psalms 100:4 MSG) It's the entryway to a deeper fellowship with Jesus.
You can read about Him, you can know a thousand scriptures, but if your heart is not thankful....
Only those with a thankful heart are positioned to really go somewhere in God.
For Example:
David's heart was so thankful for all that God had done for him; chosing him to be King instead of Saul. And so, He praised danced UNTIL he was out of his clothes (naked) transparent before the Lord.
2 Samuel 6:14-23
When was the last time, you were transparent before the Lord?
Until Next Sunday.
