Throughout God’s Word, we find the passport to His presence is our thanksgiving and worship. Yet the busyness of our over-scheduled lives can nudge us out of that sweet spot of unbridled thanks and adoration that aligns our hearts and minds toward Him. Now, let’s choose instead to lift our gaze towards the One Who loves us beyond reason and enter His courts with praise. Are you ready?
