WORSHIP
"O come, let us worship & bow down." Psalm 95:6
"Some view worship as something they bring to God; however, here in this psalm we are reminded that worship is a celebration of what God has done for us. Why worship? Because He is our God & we are His people. He made the world & all who live in it; He made us His own in baptism, worked faith in our hearts, & loves us to no end. As we gather within the fellowship of faith, we confess our sins & receive His gifts of mercy, grace & forgiveness. Of course, we would want to join with others & "come into His presence with thanksgiving" & "make a joyful noise unto Him with songs of praise" (Ps. 95:2) This is His day, not ours; Let us begin the day & end the day with praise!
"Worthy Lord, fill us with Your Spirit & accept our thanks & praise. Amen."
Psalms for Lent, Jane Wilke, Creative Communications for the Parish, 2018
