"The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever.
The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous.
They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
Who can discern his errors?
Forgive me my hidden faults.
Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me.
Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight,
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer."
-Psalm 19:7-14
What a wonderful passage of scripture!!
I am in the process of seeking out a church that I can be one with, a church that can help me grow!! I’m reading “Stop Dating the Church” by Josh Harris, and he offers some practical ways to prepare for Sunday morning. I really enjoyed what he said about Sunday morning worship:
“Remember that you’re not here to be entertained. You’re not part of an audience – you’re part of a congregation. You stand before the Audience of One. What matters isn’t whether you have a good voice, or whether you like the song or the style of music being played. What matters isn’t even what you feel.Worshiping with song is a chance to sing truth and express praise and gratefulness to God. So don’t live by your feelings in this moment. Instead, focus your mind on the truth of what you sing and the Person to whom you’re singing. God is observing and receiving your worship. In light of the wonderful, gracious God He is, give it your all.”
