Worship God in the great assembly!
ACTS 2:46-47 (CEB)
Every day, they met together in the temple and ate in their homes. They shared food with gladness and simplicity. They praised God and demonstrated God’s goodness to everyone.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Even in our worship we are demonstrating God's goodness to the world.
DAILY FODDER
God isn't the only one paying attention to how we worship. Does your worship communicate God's goodness to the world or are you communicating something else?
PRAYER
Thank you, Lord, for placing me in a vital worshipping community. Forgive me for all the times I attempt to reduce worship to a personalized experience centered on my needs and sensibilites. Might my worship clearly demonstrate your goodness to the world. I want to fit in with the great assembly gathered around your throne for worship. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
