For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the Lord.<b><\/b><\/p>\n<h2>THOUGHT FOR THE DAY<\/h2>\n<p>When I am working on the job I realize there is a Godly life that I must live so that the colleagues that I come in contact with will bear witness of it. When I am in church and am participating in fellowship with other members and visitors, it is a responsibility that I have to offer myself welcoming and receptive. When I sing praise and worship to <em>God<\/em>, I have to offer the song not just because I have to but rather present a sincere offering from the heart. Take an inventory of all the things that you may or may not be offering to <em>God<\/em> and consider that there may be more to be done. It is not painful to accomplish; you simply have to do it! And when you do it, please do not offer up something in resentment or a bad attitude. The bible talks in detail about having the tongues of men and angels yet without love it will be of no profit to anyone. To put it simply: this can only be realized in its greatest capacity of course when we finally get out of the way! When the moment finally comes that we are sincerely trying to present to <em>God<\/em> something genuine then this humble <strong>obedience<\/strong> becomes an offering acceptable and pleasing to God and in turn blesses others!<\/p>\n<h2>PUT INTO PRACTICE<\/h2>\n<p>Try to do this one of the next times that you will be attending a church: be sincere in everything you do. From a handshake to your hands raised, let others feel sincerity from your heart, humble before God, and willing to lead anyone to Christ. This may cost you time and energy at first but is worth the investment to see the growth in others around you!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE WORD Jeremiah 33:11 &#8211; The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the Lord of hosts: for the Lord<span class=\"ellipsis\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heartofgraceministries.com\/blog\/the-everyday-word\/the-everyday-word-what-are-we-offering-up\/\">Read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">What Are We Offering Up?<\/span><span class=\"meta-nav\"> &#8250;<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><!-- end of .read-more --><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[543],"tags":[637,998,394,1711,544,39,648,28,217,314,2072,1713,2071,636,977,49],"class_list":["post-992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-everyday-word","tag-attitudes","tag-bad-attitude","tag-body-of-christ","tag-bridegroom","tag-everyday-word-2","tag-god","tag-godly-life","tag-heart","tag-obedience","tag-praise-and-worship","tag-resentment","tag-sacrifice-of-praise","tag-sincerity","tag-smile","tag-tongues","tag-witness"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What Are We Offering Up?
