Prayer: What are You up to today O
Lord? Show us how we are to take part
it Your work. Amen.
Read Psalm 135.
In this Psalm, the people give thanks and praise to
God. This is a beautiful example of our
lives as Christians. We are to worship
and praise God all day long. Yet, even when our life becomes full of hardship
and despair, we remain in the presence and
longing for God. Praise be to the LORD
who dwells in our hearts.
Worship of God is not dull and boring. God speaks and we respond. Worship is dynamic. As read in the Psalms, worship is a dialogue between God and God’s
people.
As we worship God, the Holy Spirit moves and leads us into ever
new forms of praise and mission. We
frequently think of worship as just sitting in the pew for an hour each Sunday. Worship is much more than sitting in a
pew. Worship is also our very work. This is called “liturgy”…. Worship is the
work of the people. You will note it is
the work of the people, not the work of
Ministers and Elders J Those of us who sit in the pew must push up our sleeves and begin work for God
through worship.
Prayer:
Almighty God, give me the courage
to boldly be Your love and care today in our community. We ask that the Holy Spirit be by our sides
as we do Your work. This we ask in
Jesus’ name. Amen.
