Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Worship is about entering - entering into grace, entering with thanksgiving, entering to share with others, but most of all, entering into the Lord's presence in special ways. However, our entering is not the basis of our worship. Instead, worship is about the Lord's faithfulness, goodness, mercy, gloriousness, and enduring grace. We come to God like so many before us, with God waiting to meet us. We come to praise him for all he has been, all he is, and all he will be. We come to enter and worship. We can do this simply because God is faithful, through all the generations before us, to wait for us to come to him. The Creator of the universe is willing to wait for us - for you and for me. In a world where we are so impatient and do not want to wait for anything or anyone, God chooses to wait for us, welcome us, and faithfully share his goodness and love with us. How can we not return his grace with thankfulness and praise?

My Prayer...

Faithful God, the Almighty Rock of Israel, the God on whom the generations trusted, you alone, Lord, are God. I praise you for your enduring grace and mercy. I praise you because I want my heart tuned to your will. I praise and thank you because I want to prepare for my longest lifetime - the one in your heavenly presence. Thank you for all you have done to invite me, welcome me, and provide space for me in your presence! I praise and thank you, in Jesus' name. Amen.
