As our hearts enter this week of Thanksgiving, I couldn't get away from something that can steal our hearts of gratitude. If it is inside of us, I pray we will repent and surrender it to enjoy the full thanksgiving God desires for each of us.

Satan has convinced us that sharing our testimony is hard. Could it be because of the power that it holds? I pray today's musing and message takes some of the fear out of it, and instead fills your heart with boldness.

I keep our musings focused on the heart of our Heavenly Father. Yet, every four years an election rolls around and it feels important to speak to it. Some of you may be on the fence on whether you even want to vote. I made this more for your heart. I hope you will find it encouraging. It is longer than most, but times are different than any other. So, it feels important.

When is the last time the Holy Spirit has tugged on your heart to call that person? Or invite that person to church? Or pray for that stranger at the grocery store? Have you obeyed? Distracted yourself instead with your phone? Given your heart multiple excuses as to why it isn't a good idea? This is a beautiful and powerful story God used in my own life in a very specific way. I think your heart will be encouraged and challenged today.

Just when the price of groceries and gas and essentials of life began to take our breath away, then came the devastating storms of Helene. Add to that many are saying, "Make sure you have months of food on hand and are able to survive if there is a crisis." Moments like these can leave your head spinning and your heart grasping for what feels like safety.

Often, it is in times of threat we hold onto things tighter. I know many of you have given extravagantly to victims of Hurricane Helene even if things at home have been tight for you. My prayer is, that even if things get tighter or harder still, our hands will stay perpetually open. Everything we have, including our resources, have been given to us to steward. They are not ours. And giving is ultimately a reflection of our heart and where our trust lies. May this previous musing encourage you today to keep your heart and your hands open I pray.
