“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as
you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and
songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.”
Colossians 3:16
They hook you up to a machine and put you on a
treadmill.
Slowly at first, you walk.
They increase the incline and ask you to increase your
pace.
There are a number of medical staff standing by – just
in case.
“That’s a real confidence booster!” – You think to yourself.
All of the probes sticking to your chest measure heart
function.
You complete the test and they address their findings
with you.
Imagine for a moment if that same equipment measured
gratitude or complaints.
How would your heart measure up?
Of course, there is no such equipment but there is an
indicator.
Scripture tells us that the mouth speaks from the abundance
of the heart.
Your words disclose your heart condition.
What do your words reveal concerning your heart?
It is so, so much easier to complain isn’t it?
We must discipline ourselves to recognize and express
gratitude.
As you journey through each day – don’t forget to
thank God for His blessings!
