Nobody is a whole chain.  Each one is a link.  But take one link and the chain is broken.  We need each other.  You  need someone and someone needs you.  Isolated islands, we’re not.

From Colossians 1:9:  “For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,”

Monday Memories: Worship and Praise

From John 4:23-24:  [Jesus is speaking] “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship Him.  God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Praising with faith the Sabbath, the Lord’s Day

But, our lives needing to connect in other ways

 

Worshipping each day, receiving God’s serenity

Setting aside daily moments, faithful identity

 

Reading Scripture from the Lord’s Holy Word

Praying, praising, giving thanks—voices heard

 

Coming to the Lord with sincere-filled thoughts

Spending time with Him, connecting life’s dots

 

Sowing seeds of worship and praise with our God

Transforming by His love, perfect and unflawed

 

Reaping abounding harvest, singing with gladness

Witnessing God’s sacred harmony, never sadness

 

Filling our hungry hearts, opening up our minds

Listening to our Lord, He comes and truly finds

Just as we learn in different ways, our worship time will be experienced in our own unique way.

The greatest legacy we can leave is not money or belongings but the truth that changes lives.  Begin today to influence future generations by bringing them the Good News.

From 2 Timothy 3:14-15:  “ But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have known sacred writings that are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.”

Mercy’s Trusted Flame

From 2 Corinthians 5:6-7:  “So we are always confident, even though we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord—for we walk by faith, not by sight.”

Lost in fog of sinful flesh

Hidden from Father’s intent

Caught again in evil’s net

Faith’s ember waits to repent

 

Selfishness, full of darkness

One more transgression adds shame

Swallowed by false promises

Faith finds mercy’s trusted flame

 

Spirit breathes with precious grace

Savior’s blood washes sin clean

Paid for from Calvary’s cross

Faith’s pastures, forever green

 

In Christ, walking His high road

Old ways now passing away

Reconciled by Father’s love

Faith maturing, day by day

From the words of American pastor and Christian author, Charles Swindoll:  “The only way to find happiness in the grind of life is to do so by faith.”
