HIS COMMANDMENTS
Malachi 2:1-9
Devotional:- “If you will not hear, And if you will not take it to heart, To give glory to My name," Says the LORD of hosts, "I will send a curse upon you, And I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already, Because you do not take it to heart.” (v.2) NKJV
If anyone will live continuously in a glorious and joyful life in this world, he must learn to obey this command. It is the only way to bring you to the level of right thinking for the right result. Ingratitude is a product of an irresponsible mind that is always expecting God to do everything for it. This is simply a religious mind. It is a refusal to show appreciation for those things God is doing in one’s life. It is complaining about what is yet to be in place in one's life. Such a person takes offence at God. He is embittered with the people who are making it around.
In today’s scripture, not being grateful always attracts curses. God pronounces curses upon some priests who will not take it to heart nor consider it necessary to appreciate Him, even after all that the Lord has given them. And when God curse a man, who can deliver him?
That is why you must not see ingratitude as a lifestyle. Get to know that it goes a long way to determine how much grace heaven will release on you. It determines the rate at which your heart will supply you with the solution your life needs. Ingratitude is a trick of the enemy to get you grounded and off track with destiny. Humble yourself to always be grateful to God, if only for your living, and your joy will multiply.
Prayer: Lord, give me a grateful heart.
