Good day dear friends.
Here is our study guide for today:
Psalm 150 speaks of how we should worship. Think back about Sunday’s sermon and see how your attitude about worship affects you. Now find and read Psalm 150 and ask yourself the same questions.
Here is that Psalm: Praise the LORD! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty firmament! 2 Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his surpassing greatness! 3 Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! 4 Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! 5 Praise him with clanging cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! 6 Let everything that breathes praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!
Sunday we studied our iPraise section of our vows. When we joined the church we promised to support the church with our prayers, our presence... I joked that some folks take "presence" too lightly and consider walking on the church grounds while on a morning walk as having been "present" in church. Wrong! Nor does it count if you drive by and wave! Presence means being a part of a worshiping community. It means to come in with a joyful and thankful attitude and being ready for the Potter to remake us as we saw in Jeremiah.
Our attitude coming into worship should not dictate what God can do while you are there. If you come in with a willing spirit and a listening heart, God will remake you and mold you.
PRAYER: God of the potter's wheel, let me today willingly step on this spinning wheel. With you loving, tender hands mold me into what You would have me be. Yes, there are some tears, breaks, and cracks in me, but it's nothing that You cannot fix. Once I am complete, fill me with Your grace and love that I may carry that to a thirsty world. I pray this prayer of faith in Christ Jesus' Name, amen.
Have a great and blessed day in the Lord!
