Today’s message in church was on Fervour in Thanksgiving. Here’s one simple story that explains it.
I once heard about two children who were given the same gift by their father.
The first child collected it, smiled a little, and walked away like it was expected.
The second child couldn’t contain the joy. He hugged his father, kept saying, “Thank you!” He even went around telling everyone how good his father was.
Both received the same gift, but only one showed fervour.
That’s how many of us treat God.
We pray with passion when we need something. We fast with passion when we’re trusting God for a breakthrough. But when He answers… our thanksgiving becomes casual.
The Bible is full of people who thanked God with all their hearts. David danced with all his might. Miriam led the women with singing and dancing. Paul and Silas praised God in prison. The psalmist said, “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord.”
Fervour isn’t about making noise for people to see. It’s giving God your whole heart.
If God has been good to you and He has, don’t thank Him like it’s a routine. Thank Him like someone who truly knows where He brought you from.
Because a grateful heart never runs out of reasons to praise God.
Don’t let your prayer life be louder than your thanksgiving life. God deserves both. ❤️🙏🏽
