Here I Am, Lord: Devotions from Time of GraceSample

I Love to Worship You, Lord

I love being in your house, Lord. I know I can worship you anywhere, and I do. But there is nothing like being in your house with other believers. I love the choirs and instruments. I love the hymns and the prayers. I appreciate the messages that come from your Word, and I love giving gifts, acknowledging you as the ultimate Giver of all.

I love being with other people who care about you as much as I do. “Praise the LORD. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him!” (Psalm 147:1). I love being able to go public with my praises and let the world know I am proud to be your child. I claim you; thank you for claiming me.

Father, you are the Designer and Maker of all. Lord Jesus, you are our Redeemer, living, dying, and rising to win back your lost brothers and sisters. Holy Spirit, you are the energy source and the wisdom in my life. I acknowledge you; I appreciate you; I depend on you; I worship you; I praise you. The joy I feel in your house will sustain me until I can praise you face-to-face. I will love to worship you in heaven too.
