What,
Lord, is most important to us – the person who leads us in worship, the
place where we worship, or the God whom we worship? We know what our
answer should be – but, often, our lives tell a very different story.
Help us, when we worship, to learn that nothing and no-one can ever be
more important than You. May our lives start catching up with the
lessons that we learn when we are reading Your Word.
Lord, help us never to think, “We are blessed because we are obedient.” Help us always to say, “We are blessed because You love us and Jesus died for us.” Your love for us, Jesus’ death for us: This is where the blessing comes from – and it’s where our obedience comes from! We think of Your great love for us. We think of Jesus, crucified for us. We say, “Lord, You love me. Help me to love You.” We say, “Jesus, You died for me. Help me to live for You.” This is how Your blessing comes to us – You show us how much You love us, You put Your love into our hearts, the obedience grows stronger – and so does the blessing!
