A "willing" heart -

King David of the Old Testament is a great example of someone who "willed" his heart to do God's will.

I WILL praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart... (Psa. 9:1)
I WILL love thee, O Lord, my strength. (Psa. 18:1)
I WILL declare thy name unto my brethren... (Psa. 22:22)
When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, WILL I seek. (Psa. 27:8)
I WILL be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble... (Psa. 31:7)
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I WILL sing and give praise. (Psa. 57:7)

We can and should "will" to do right; we cannot wait to be inspired to do right. Although David was a great king and leader of a great nation, when he approached the Lord in worship, it was with a humble and willing heart.

“Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.” (Psa. 90:1-2)

In a Biblical sense, a generation can be thought of as an age. Therefore, the Bible will refer to the third, the fourth, even the tenth generation! Throughout those ages, God speaks to the generations.

"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Php. 4:6-7)

Anxiety says, "What if?";
Faith says, "What Is!"

"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." (John 14:16-18)

-Prov. 31:30

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Fun fact: Anna Jarvis chose the white carnation to be the official flower of Mother’s Day. Why? She compared that flower’s petals and behavior to a mother’s love. She said, “The carnation does not drop its petals, but hugs them to its heart as it dies, and so too, mothers hug their children to their hearts, their mother love never dying.”
