For I know the plans I
have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give
you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to
you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
– Jeremiah 29:11-13 (NIV)
Before an unspoken prayer…
Before any acts of service…
Even before a small faith that can move mountains…
Before each encouraging words and actions…
Before worship…
Goes a HEART….Offered first before any sacrifice…
May my heart seek You First, Oh Lord, the One and only true
God. Daily…
But seek first the kingdom
of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.-
Matthew 6:33 (ESV)
No one can serve two
masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be
devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.-
Matthew 6:24 (ESV)
Commit your work to the Lord, and
your plans will be established.- Proverbs 16:3 (ESV)
My son, do not forget my
teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, for length of days and years
of life and peace they will add to you. Let not steadfast love and faithfulness
forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your
heart. So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man. Trust
in the Lordwith all
your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. – Proverbs 3:1-5 (ESV)
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land
of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.You shall have no other gods before me.- Exodus 20:1-3(ESV)
Beautiful post, dear Rosel. In a few lines you have expressed what really matters most. And the song is perfect for this post. My first time to hear it, I will listen to it again and again. I thank Abba Father for your heart that is so tender, so responsive to the heavenly call upon your life. Much love, Lidia

ReplyDeleteIf there is one thing I learned this year, it's the power of personal worship. And before I worship, yes my heart needs to be right & pure. And then when I'm finished worshiping our great and mighty God, things seem to be written right, words that are right are said. It has been amazing to be one with Him like this. These scriptures are powerful and the song is too! Praying for you. I know you hear Him and that must make the Lord so pleased to order your steps His way.
ReplyDeleteLove you!
