The words flow...
Rise up, O Lord, in all your power. With music and singing we celebrate your mighty acts. ~ Psalm 21:13 (NLT)
What you say flows from what is in your heart. ~ Luke 6:45 (NLT)
KEY IDEA:
Our words flow from hearts that celebrate God's activity.
PRAYER:
God, I join with all your people to thank you and celebrate all the great things you are doing. This is true a lot of the time. But sometimes my heart is hard and I forget about you and what you are doing. I know that I shouldn't. Please forgive me and freshen my heart so that good words continue to flow from my heart. I'm going to celebrate your might acts with words and songs. Amen.
