Bible Verse of The Day – 4-5-14

John 4:23-24 (NKJV) 23 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.”

God wants us to worship Him in spirit and in truth.

This is so important, yet so overlooked these days in the modern church. Worship today seems to have been reduced to a man-made conjuring up of what people hope is God’s presence.

But let me state that if God’s presence was truly as heavy in these modern worship services as it is portrayed to be, most people in that service would fall down under the weight of His glory, not just wave their arms or raise their hands.

God’s presence isn’t something that we should take lightly or try to force to happen. God’s spirit will come when we are ready for Him and when our hearts are prepared for Him.

Don’t take this wrong. I am not throwing stones at how churches worship. Most people in most churches have their hearts in the right place and they want to please God and worship Him in spirit and in truth.

But the church has gotten stuck in a rut and doesn’t know how to find its way out.

So today, we encourage you to stop what you’re doing in your worship time with God. Ask God if you’re really worshiping Him in a way that pleases Him. Check yourself in this area. And if you’re not sure about what you do, ask Him to show you what to do. And He will.

Worship Him in spirit and truth and enjoy His presence.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-27-13

(Matthew 2:11 NKJV)  And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

This verse is talking about the wise men when they found the child. It says they fell down and worshiped HIM. But who was Him? The baby called Jesus.

He was just a baby. He didn’t know what was going on, yet it says they fell down and worshiped Him. Why would they do this?

Because that baby boy was our Savior. He came to set us free from our sins, so we could worship, so we could pray, so we could have a relationship with Him, and that we may have everlasting life!

The other day I was spending time with my grandchildren. I put on a kid’s song and grabbed their stuffed animals and pretended they were all singing to this song, “Our God is an Awesome God!”

To my surprise, my grandson, who is 6 yrs. old, got all serious and he went across the room to an area where there were no toys. He fell on his knees and put his face to the floor and just laid there very still for a few minutes.

He got up and began singing to the song and when the song ended, he said “let’s play it again”! Over and over we played that song. My granddaughter, 5 yrs. old, had her little dolls and she was swaying them to the music, dancing and singing. What a time we had!

We are all blessed in more ways than we realize. Let us take a few minutes to worship Him today!!
