Gratitude Be a Choir Conductor

Gratitude

Be a Choir Conductor

Your gratitude can get others to sing

Praise to God!

We are entering the season of giving.

It is a time we think of those less fortunate.

1 Corinthians 9:12 tells us how to get a two-for-one.

When we give to the needs of Christians,

they in turn give praise to God.

Giving to the needs of poor Christians

not only brings praise to God,

but bountiful abundant praise.

The Greek meaning is “to fill up to the full.”

 I am sure you have seen it.

The joy on a person’s face

when they not only receive a gift

that makes life easier;

but the feeling they get

when that gift reminds them that God

has not forgotten them!

 Why do we do it?   

 Why do we give?

The answer is very simple.

Our hearts are filled with gratitude.

Gratitude can’t help itself.

Gratitude gives!

When gratitude gives,

voices of praise are lifted to God.

I know we are in tough times

and almost all of us have less

then we had 2 years ago.

What if we expressed our gratitude

for God’s love anyways?

What if we helped out

other fellow Christians in need?

I think we could form a choir

that could “fill to the full” heaven

with bountiful praise.

Become a choir director.

   You say why focus on Christians?

Because that is where God says we are to start.

When non believers see our gratitude

and care for each other,

they become attracted to the real deal.

And they, too, will join the choir.

 Scripture Reading

2 Corinthians 9:12-15 THE MESSAGE

12 Carrying out this social relief work

involves far more than helping meet

the bare needs of poor Christians.

It also produces abundant

and bountiful thanksgivings to God.

13 This relief offering is a prod

to live at your very best,

showing your gratitude to God

by being openly obedient

to the plain meaning of the Message of Christ.

You show your gratitude through your generous offerings

to your needy brothers and sisters,

and really toward everyone.

14 Meanwhile, moved by the extravagance of God in your lives,

they'll respond by praying for you

in passionate intercession for whatever you need.

15 Thank God for this gift, his gift.

No language can praise it enough!

Galatians 6:10 KJV

10 As we have therefore opportunity,

let us do good unto all men,

especially unto them

who are of the household of faith.
