Come and Worship

Today's encouragement for Our Daily Bread, and a need to save time and I called today's devotional come and worship as they sing praise songs together in the multigenerational worship service. Many experience joy and peace, but not a frazzled mother as she jiggled her baby was on the verge of crying.

She held the songbook for her five-year-old while trying to stop her toddler from running off then an older gentleman sitting behind her offer to walk the toddler around the church and a young woman motioned that she could hold the songbook for the eldest child within two minutes the mother's experience was transformed and she could exhale closer eyes and worship God. God has always intended that all his people worship him. Men and women, old and young longtime believers and newcomers as Moses blessed the tribes of Israel before they enter the promised land. In Deuteronomy 31, he urged them all to meet together men, women and children and the foreigners residing in your towns so that they could listen and learn to fear the Lord your God and to follow his commands.

It honors God. When we make it possible for his people to worship him.

Together, no matter our stage of life that morning at church. The mother, the older gentleman and a young woman each experience God's love through giving and receiving. Perhaps the next time you are at church. YouTube could either extend God's love through an offer of help or you could be the one accepting the act of grace. The passage from Scripture today is from Deuteronomy chapter 31 verses nine through 13 so Moses wrote down this law and gave it to the Levitical priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord and to all the elders of Israel. Then Moses commanded them at the end of every seven years. In the year for canceling debts during the Festival of Tabernacles when all Israel comes to appear before the Lord your God at the place he will choose you shall read this law before them in their hearing, a symbol of the people, men, women and children in the foreigners residing in your towns so they can listen and learn to fear the Lord your God, and follow carefully all the words of this law, their children who do not know. This law must hear it and learn to fear the Lord your God, as long as you live in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.

Let's pray loving Jesus. You long that everyone would feel welcomed when they gather together to worship you, help us to be those who noticed others and who reach out and love. We pray in the name of Jesus. Amen thank you so much for listening. Today's encouragement was provided by Our Daily Bread ministries
