NEHEMIAH 9:5 (CEV)
Stand and shout praises
to your LORD,
the eternal God!
Praise his wonderful name,
though he is greater
than words can express.
EPHESIANS 5:19 (CEV)
When you meet together, sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, as you praise the Lord with all your heart.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Even though the words are inadequate, direct your praises to our glorious God.
PRAYER
Glorious God, you are worthy of all attention, all praise, and all honor. Thank you for placing me in a community of faithful followers who honor you through songs of praise. I acknowledge that my voice cracks and that I sometimes grumble about the music. Free me to focus on the music behind the music -- your glory and grace. I'm not going to get hung up on the style, the volume, or the shortcomings of the musicians. I'm going to focus instead on praising the Lord with all my heart. Amen.
Since 2006, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
