Words that Worship

Thursday, July 23

With words we express our excitement about things that happen in our lives. The birth of a new child, a promotion at work, our favorite team just won the playoffs and on and on goes the list of things that can cause excitement in us that makes us want to tell someone.

Take some time today to tell God how much you love Him. Reflect on the goodness of God in your life, then open your mouth and speak, out loud, your praise and worship to Him.

I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.
Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul will be satisfied
as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
Psalm 63:2-5

Words are a big part of our everyday life. Today, as we take time to worship God with our words of praise to Him, let us also worship Him in the words that we speak to others, words that will bless and encourage, not tear down and destroy.

With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father,
and with it we curse men,
who have been made in God’s likeness.
Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing.
My brothers, this should not be.
James 3:9-10

Prayer: Lord, I will worship You with my words today. Amen
