Overflowing Grace: Devo 8

Day 8: A Heart of Worship
 
Scripture: Psalm 100:1-5 NLT "Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth! Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy. Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation."

Observation and Reflection:
The Hebrew word for "worship" (abad) can also mean "to serve." True worship goes beyond singing; it encompasses a lifestyle of service and gratitude. God’s goodness, love, and faithfulness are the reasons for our joyful worship. Reflect on how gratitude and praise have transformed difficult situations in your life. How often do you approach God with thanksgiving?

Think of a child running to their parent with a drawing, not for reward but out of love and delight. Worship is our heartfelt response to God’s goodness.

Darlene Zschech, a well-known worship leader, emphasizes worship as more than music—it’s living a life surrendered to God. Her heart of worship inspires millions.

Application and Action: Begin today with thanksgiving. List five things you’re grateful for and thank God for them. Reflect on this quote by A.W. Tozer: “Without worship, we go about miserable.”

Prayer: Lord, I come before You with a heart of gratitude and praise. Thank You for Your love, faithfulness, and goodness that never fail. Help me to live a life of worship in all I do. Amen.
