Psalm95:6-7 August 31, 2014

Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. — Psalm 95:6-7 (NIV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Worship is more than our heart, soul and words offered to God. It also involves our posture. When we understand the grace God has given us to be called his children, what else can we do but bow down or kneel before him in his majesty and might. We come to him, a conquering ruler, offering ourselves in full submission. God chooses, however, to treat us tenderly like a loving shepherd who longs to care for us. Such grace leads us to bow and kneel in heartfelt worship.

                    My Prayer...

Shepherd of my soul, I come to you seeking your protection and rest as one of your sheep. I often find myself harried and driven by life's pressures and temptations. But I come to you submitting myself to be used for your glory — not just today, but for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Temptation

As we glorify God each day, let's remember that whatever we face, and in every struggle, God is there. Ready to guide and help you.

Sometimes, when we don't hear from God, we think He's gone, that He left. But really, God allows what happens to us to happen so that when the next challenge comes we are stronger and able to face it.
Also, He may not answer the way we expect.

Every temptation we face, is common to man
Hebrews 12:1-3 is a very encouraging scripture...but also remember what Jesus said when He was tempted - it is written.

Find a scripture and rebuke Satan...
