Today, again, we will spend time in worship. Simply focusing on God and His character. So, invite His Holy Spirit to pour over You with His presence. Listen intently as we experience His Word together.
From Psalm 33 The Message
Good people, cheer God! Right-living people sound best when praising.
Use guitars to reinforce your Hallelujahs! Play his praise on a grand piano!
Invent your own new song to him; give him a trumpet fanfare.
For God’s Word is solid to the core; everything he makes is sound inside and out.
He loves it when everything fits, when his world is in plumb-line true.
Earth is drenched in God’s affectionate satisfaction.
… bow before God; … down on your knees!
Here’s why: he spoke and there it was, in place the moment he said so.
God takes the wind out of Babel pretense, he shoots down the world’s power-schemes.
God’s plan for the world stands up, all his designs are made to last.
Blessed is the country with God for God; blessed are the people he’s put in his will.
He has shaped each person in turn; now he watches everything we do.
No king succeeds with a big army alone, no warrior wins by brute strength.
Horsepower is not the answer; no one gets by on muscle alone.
Watch this: God’s eye is on those who respect him, the ones who are looking for his love.
He’s ready to come to their rescue in bad times; in lean times he keeps body and soul together.
We’re depending on God; he’s everything we need.
What’s more, our hearts brim with joy since we’ve taken for our own his holy name.
Love us, God, with all you’ve got—that’s what we’re depending on.
Can you add your personal thoughts of worship to these words from david?
What about God are you in awe of?
How has God rescued you?
Will you praise and worship him for the personal way He has shown up recently?
Let’s personalize the last lines of Psalm 33:
I’m depending on You, God; You are everything I need.
What’s more, my heart brims with joy since I’ve taken for my own Your holy name.
Love me, God, with all you’ve got—that’s what I’m depending on.
Pray with me: “Heavenly Father, Thank You that I don’t have to worship, but I get to worship. You are a Gentleman who never forces His way, yet loves in such a powerful way that invites a response of gratitude. Thank You for loving me with all You’ve got. As above, so below.”
