Worship As A Lifestyle

“The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.” Colossians 1:15-20 (NIV)

Pray with me:

Father, as we celebrate this day that we call, “Palm Sunday”, we pause to reflect upon Your goodness. We give You glory, and we give You praise. Thank You for Your initiative that sent Jesus to live among us. Sending the Creator to live among the created knowing that He would be mistreated, misunderstood and eventually murdered and yet You still sent Him. But that was Your plan. You desired to have relationship with us and You were willing to sacrifice Your one and only Son in order to do so. Thank you.

Thank You that through Christ’s blood on the cross we can stand before You, not guilty. Thank You, that just like Christ rose from the grave, so we will rise from death to life eternal with You. Thank You, that although we are not worthy in and of ourselves that through Jesus You have brought us into Your Kingdom. Thank You, that we don’t have to wait until heaven to enjoy Your presence.

Thank You, Father for loving us just as we are, but loving us so much that You are not willing to leave us there. Thank You for the cross, thank You for the blood, thank You for looking beyond our faults and seeing our need, thank You for your grace that is greater than all our sin.

We join our hearts together today and shout out, “To You be the glory, great things You have done! And for that we cry out, Thank You!”

“Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks
and honor and power and strength be
to our God forever and ever. Amen!” Revelation 7:12
