Worship Song: Bow Down and Worship Him

 


Meditation:

    Should you ask a group of people what matters most in life, the responses would vary based on their perspectives. I'm sure the majority of the responses would be family, relatives, their jobs, relationships, good health, wealth, and/or happiness. But what should matter the most in life is worshiping God in the beauty of holiness with gratitude, humility, reverence, and awe. Worship changes everything. When Paul and Silas were bound in chains behind the prison wall, they worshiped, singing praises unto God. Their singing attracted the attention of heaven, and God intervened on their behalf. As a result of their adoration, the atmosphere shifted—the prison doors suddenly opened, and the chains that bound the prisoners were released (Acts 16). Another example of the result of the power of worship is recorded in 2 Chronicles 20. It is amazing what the power of praise and worship can do. 

    Worship changes your circumstances, your attitude, and your mindset. When the presence of God dwells in you, you worship God whenever or wherever you go. Everything that has breath should sincerely worship God (Psalm 150) with a grateful heart, giving thanks always. The angels worship God without ceasing, singing, and giving glory, honor, and thanks to the One who lives forever and ever (Rev. 4). They stand around the throne with their faces to the ground and worship God. God is seeking, searching for people who will worship him in spirit and truth. If we refuse to worship God, the stones will cry out. Draw nigh to Jehovah God because now is the time to worship and praise Him. 

Let us pray:

    Sovereign God, Creator of the universe, I bow in reverence before you to worship and adore you. Lord God, you deserve all the honor, glory, and praise. I will exalt you, O God, because there is none like you. Almighty God, no foreign god, no idol will take your place, because you are great and greatly to be praised. I will not hold my peace, Lord, because the rocks shall not cry out on my behalf. I will forever worship you in spirit and in truth. Lord, all my life, you have been faithful; you have never left nor forsaken me. I sing praises unto you, O God, for your awesome power and unconditional love; you are worthy of all praises, O God. Lord, I praise you because you are my great Physician, my miracle-working God, my healer, my provider, my protector, and the high priest who became my redeemer. Lord, because of you, I am no longer enslaved by sin, no longer bound, freed from bondage, so I will worship and praise you for your infinite greatness and goodness. In good times and in difficult moments, I will praise you with my whole heart because you are my Lord and King. Amen.

Have a blessed day. 💕🙏

    First thing first. All or nothing for God. Everyone must come to that acknowledgement.
    We are allotted time to do so. Let everyone use it wisely.

In Him Will I Trust

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 20 Worship song: I Will Say of The Lord   Meditation:      When the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir rose up against King Jehoshaphat of Judah, he became afraid and sought the Lord's help. He proclaimed a solemn fast throughout all of Judah, and all the people stood before God, including women and children, seeking his divine help against the great armies. Jehoshaphat urged the people of Judah and Jerusalem to believe in the Lord God and trust the word of the messenger, and they would prosper and triumph in the battle against the army that pursued them. He also appointed singers to worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness and to praise him for his mercy endures forever (2 Chronicles 20).       When you are facing giants, cry out to God, trust His plans, and worship Him with a sincere heart; praise Him in the beauty of holiness. Do not be like those who trust in earthly rulers, human strength...

 Day of prayer   O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth forever. Psalm 118:1   Worship song: Thanks   Let us pray:      Almighty one, let your mercy prevail over us, O God, breathe upon us afresh and renew our mindset until it overflows with gratitude and thankfulness as we celebrate with appreciation your goodness, grace, and mercy.

Purification of The Heart

Good morning Scripture: St. Matthew 15:8-20 Worship song: Create in Me A Clean Heart   Meditation:      The heart symbolizes the center or core of our being from which we operate. It is like the driving force behind our actions. It can be referred to as a person's character or the place within a person where feelings or emotions are generated. The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Jeremiah, the prophet, says, who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9). Only God can. He searches the heart, tries it, and rewards every man according to his ways and the fruit it produces. The heart is like a factory where products are produced and exported.       Whatever evil the heart produces, it will be shipped throughout the rest of our body, exit through our mouth, and defile us. Among the things that the heart produces are evil thoughts, wickedness, stealing, envy, striving, covetousness, and the like. A person is made or broken by wha...

Miracle Working God

Good morning Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. (Jeremiah 17:7). Hymn: My Hope is Built on Nothing Less   Testimony:      When God has you covered, when his hands of mercy and grace are extended, and when your faith is stronger than your situation, you can rejoice and glorify the King of kings. My faith and trust in God are further heightened, and my hope has increased after hearing a victory testimony from a relative who doctors thought had no chance of survival after his diagnosis. I can truly say my God is good, O, and he is still working miracles. A recent medical examination determined that there was no trace of cancer in his body. Through prayer, praise, faith, trusting God, a strict diet plan, follow-up visits to the physician, and nurture and care by his loving wife, who stood by him, pampering, comforting, and nursing him, he is now rejoicing and giving God thanks. Look what the Lord has done.     ...
