Keep your life so constant in its contact with God that His surprising power may break out on the right hand and on the left. Always be in a state of expectancy, and see that you leave room for God to come in as He likes.
From Galatians 1:15-16: “But when God, who had set me apart before I was born and called me through His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son to me, so that I might proclaim Him among the Gentiles.”
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

From American pastor and Christian author, A. W. Tozer: “If you will not worship God seven days a week, you do not really worship Him on one day a week.”

Four things let us ever keep in mind: God hears prayer, God heeds prayer, God answers prayer, and God delivers by prayer.
From Proverbs 15:29: “The Lord is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous.”

Light reveals righteousness, and it also reveals sin.
From Romans 1:16-17: “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel; it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written, ‘The one who is righteous will live by faith.'”

God is our refuge, and what comfort that brings. When you read the next headline, and it tells of some event that you and I would call tragic, He is a very present help.
From Psalm 46:1: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
From Romans 12:11: “Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord.”

Offering our bodies to our Father
As a living sacrifice to the Lord
Forever transformed, through His renewal
Bringing new life, by God’s sacred accord
Accepting God’s will with sober recourse
Remaining faithful, God living with us
His Word, always cleanses our sinful ways
With God’s plan, a Holy and perfect plus
God’s love is genuine, filled with His grace
Stepping forward, stoked with spirited zeal
Remaining steadfast, to all which is good
Serving God, escaping heavy ordeals
Steering ourselves, with total discipline
According to God’s proud expectations

Avoiding the Enemy’s temptations
Remaining patient, despite life’s trials
Providing His strength, God leading us all
Walking in faith, taking the Lord’s high road
Living peacefully, following His call

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: “What, you too? I thought I was the only one.”
From Proverbs 18:24: “Some friends play at friendship but a true friend sticks closer than one’s nearest kin.”
From 2 Corinthians 9:6: “The point is this: the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.”
