King of Kings: An Advent Plan by New Life ChurchMuestra

Worship speaks the eternal into the temporal. Worship declares who the Lord is; it puts the focus on God because we are choosing to look through the fog and noise of the world to what He is doing. 

For Mary, there was a lot she could have been consumed with as she visited Elizabeth, but she chooses to engage her mind and speech in worship. She recognizes there is so much more at work in her life than a new marriage and pregnancy. Generations of expectation and hope are about to be fulfilled and the future of humanity would shift into redemption through her Son’s birth. Maybe your task list and calendar seem overwhelming during this holiday season, but ask the Lord to remind you what Christmas is really about. Remember, we’re here to celebrate Jesus coming to us! 

Application: Today, spend ten minutes in worship, recalling and thanking God for specific ways that the Savior has given you an abundant, full life. Worship is vital to our relationship with the Lord and keeping our eyes focused on Him.
