Day 3 January 4th 2019
FOCUS: to worship with a whole heart
Psalm 111:1:Praise the Lord. I will extol the Lord with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly.
Psalm 27:8: My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, Lord, I will seek.In You, O God, I find my identity. When I come to seek You, I find that You are already here, seeking me.
What gives my worship meaning is so much more than anything that I can do or say - it is You! You are the reason I came to exist, You are the giver of my next breath, and You are the reason for my continued being. You are the reason I worship. I worship You with my whole heart. I come to worship You because of who You are! You are the one and only true God!
I bring You praise because of Your holiness. You are so gracious to me, and You have already done more than enough for me to bring You thanksgiving. I worship You. May my life bring glory to You, my Lord and my God. I want to worship You with my whole heart. I am not ashamed to declare my love and adoration for You before others.
All I am is Yours, and I belong to you. I am Your possession. May You be pleased with my worship. I long to recapture a spirit of genuine worship, a personal revival of my whole being, heart, soul, and spirit. Heaven and earth declare Your glory, O God, and therefore so do I. All of creation submits to You, and so my life is surrendered to You.
I am willing to do Your will. How can I be in Your presence and not be changed? I long to be the kind of worshipper that You have been looking for, fully devoted to You. I worship You with my whole heart.
REFLECT: How has being in God’s presence changed you?
Because everything we do can be an act of worship, how does this affect your view and more so, your attitude about common, everyday task?
What gives my worship meaning is so much more than anything that I can do or say - it is You!
You are the reason I came to exist, You are the giver of my next breath, and You are the reason for my continued being. You are the reason I worship. I worship You with my whole heart.
