This devotional was created to aid fellow Christians in their personal worship and devotion time. This is not intended as a substitute for your own Bible study, but a supplement for your quiet time. A new song with accompanying meditation will be posted every Sunday. Use it as you draw near to God in focused, intimate communication. Here are some suggestions for reaping the greatest benefits from it.
1. Begin with the song. Listen to the attached YouTube video or mp3 of the song – repeat as necessary. Music is powerful. If the tune stays in your head, you will be reminded of its message throughout the day. You may sing along using the provided lyrics.
2. Read the text from your Bible. By all means, open your Bible! God’s revelation is the basis of all worship. Approach God’s Word reverently and prayerfully. Rely on the Holy Spirit to help you understand. Do not stop with one reading. Read the text several times. Drink in fully the richness of God’s Word.
3. Meditate on the text. Ask yourself what God is saying and how you should respond. You may want to memorize a part of the day’s reading to “carry” with you the whole day. Continue to reflect on the Bible even after you close it.
4. Respond in faith and obedience. Remember, true worship is not achieved until you act in faith and obedience to God’s revelation. Pray for empowerment as you apply God’s Word to your life. Entrust your day in God’s hand and see Him at work!
