Carrying Worship to Monday
Discipleship S.T.E.P.S.: Worship God
Scripture: Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy. – Psalm 99:9 (KJV)
Worship is not a performance for Sunday morning, but an orientation of the heart that prepares us for every challenge the coming week may hold. When we exalt the Lord, we acknowledge His holiness and majesty, putting our personal stresses into the correct perspective. Preparing your heart today is about setting a trajectory for your week that prioritizes His presence above your personal agenda.
As you enter into worship, let your heart be cleansed by the recognition of His glory. A heart prepared for God is one that remains in a state of worship even as the weekend ends. Carry this reverence into your Monday morning; by keeping your focus on the holy hill of God, you will find that your strength is renewed and your perspective is fortified for whatever duties lay before you.
Prompt: Is your heart prepared to encounter the Living God today?
Action Step: Sunday is a holy day, set apart for the corporate worship of God. As you prepare for service, ask God to speak to you through the Word and the community. Use this day to reset your focus for the week of S.T.E.P.S. ahead.
