September 12, 2010

9-12-10 Sunday, 6:28 am Springfield, 57 degrees, clear.

Today I arise to praise God and lead others to do so in the sanctuary. I am looking forward to this morning and to the message on passionate worship. Psalm 84 is my central scripture this morning.

Psalm 84

This is a psalm sung by pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem, to worship God in the temple. They pass through the valley of Baca, a dry place, and springs appear, rain also providing what they need. The writer states that he would rather be doorkeeper in the house of the lord than do anything else. He also states that one day in the presence of God is better than a thousand elsewhere.

Lord, may today’s worship services be a blessing to the participants as the music, the prayers, the scripture feed hungry and parched souls. May the gathering of your people, singing praises be a blessing. Use me as your servant today.
