Word of the Day
Beloved, personal worship is your time alone with Me. Whether brief moments where you only speak My name, or extended times of adoration and prayer; it is all worship. Every moment you are moved to think on Me, thank Me or just say My name, is worship to Me.
I inhabit the praises of My people and I inhabit yours (Psalms 22:3). Yet, expressive times of personal or corporate song are not the only ways to demonstrate a heart of worship. You can walk in a spirit of unparalleled worship by walking with a Christ-like attitude I am here to expand your vision—to open up the arena of possibilities and create a wider expression of My heart in your life. There are so many ways you can worship and I want you to experience them all as a reality.
Worship in all forms—from a spoken word to reflective silence—builds a house of continual habitation. A temple of My presence within your life. What kind of house will you build for Me? Worship, like My Word, renews the mind and ignites passionate flames within your heart. It enables you to overcome the onslaughts of the enemy. Worship births a thirst and hunger for righteousness. A thirst and hunger only found in the depths of intimate and constant relationship with Me in every aspect of your being and doing.
All you need, to demonstrate a heart of faith-filled worship in word and deed, is found first and foremost in Me. Come into My presence and worship Me in Spirit and Truth. Come into My presence first and then you will have something to give to those around you (John 4:22-24).
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.? (John 4:23-24 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord, it is my desire to worship You in all I say and do. I desire my life to be a life of thankful praise displayed with a kind heart toward myself and others. I choose to make the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart acceptable in Your sight regardless of situation or circumstance.
I build my house on the Rock of all right thinking and doing and not on sinking sands of wrong attitudes and choices. As I do this, You inhabit every portion of my life, expand my tent pegs and enlarge my borders. I am ignited with passionate love for You, Lord, and my soul longs after You like a deer panting for water. Draw me into a deep and intimate relationship in spite of anything going on around me. I come into Your presence and receive all You have to offer. Amen
Reflect and Journal
- Have you ever thought about proper attitudes being a form of worship?
- What about prayer? Do you think it is a form of worship and why?
- 3. What kind of house are you building? Is it a tabernacle of praise and worship?
Brenda,
I can’t find the most appropriate words to thank you for giving me the prayers most needed in my most challenging, hopeless and fearful moments. Truly, God’s loving help is always available through His children. It was just amazing how fast His words can work in a turbulent moment of confusion and hopelessness. In the blink of an eye, His words eased out the dark clouds of the moment and the radiant light of hope is there.
The work of the enemy will never,never,never prosper for all has been paid by His BLOOD. The power of the Cross!
His help is ever present and His love most available. Truly, His love can make our hearts His resting place. Thank you my loving Father for your infinite love through your Son , my sweet adorable Jesus!!!
