Worship

Good morning!

Worship. Worship  is the highest function of the human soul. Geoffrey R. King. 

Ascribe to the LORD, the glory due His name; worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness(Psalm 29:2).

How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of hosts! My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God (Psalm 84:1-20.

O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker! (Psalm 95:6). 

But the hour is coming and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship Him. God is spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth (John 4:23-24).

Zeal

Good morning!

Zeal. In those things in which all the people of God are agreed, I will spend my zeal; and as for other things about which they differ, I will walk according to the light God has given me, and charitably believe that others do so too. ---- Philip Henry.

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (Ephesians 4:1-3).

Meditation

Good morning!

By meditation I can converse with God, solace myself on the bosom of the Saviour, bathe myself in the rivers of divine pleasure, tread the paths of my rest, and view the mansions of eternity. ---- Anonymous.

Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful(Joshua 1:8). 

A hymn to read, sing, whistle or hum to the glory of God: YOUR WORD IS LIKE A GARDEN LORD

Thy Word is like a garden, Lord, with flowers bright and fair;
And every one who seeks may pluck a lovely cluster there.
Thy Word is like a deep, deep mine; and jewels rich and rare
Are hidden in its mighty depths for every searcher there.

Holy Spirit

Good morning!

All outward means of grace, if separate from the Spirit of God, cannot profit, or conduce, in any degree, either to the knowledge or love of God.----All outward things, unless He work in them and by them, are in vain. ---- John Wesley

...it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment. When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth, for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will declare to you the things that are to come (John 16:7-8, 13-14). 

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you (John 14:26). 

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit (Galatians 5:25).

A hymn to read, sing, whistle or hum to the glory of God: SPIRIT OF GOD, DESCEND UPON MY HEART.

Spirit of God, descend upon my heart;
Wean it from earth; through all its pulses move;
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art;
And make me love Thee as I ought to love.

Purpose

Good morning!

The older I grow ---- and I now stand on the brink of eternity ---- the more comes back to me that sentence in the Catechism which I learned when a child, and the fuller and deeper its meanings becomes: "What is the chief end of man? Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever." ---- Thomas Carlyle. 

Whether you eat, or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God (I Corinthians 10:31).

For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory forever. Amen.(Romans 11:36). 

A hymn to read, sing, whistle or hum to the glory of God: O WORSHIP THE KING.

1.     O worship the King, all glorious above, 

O gratefully sing God's power and God's love; 

our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, 

pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.

Tongue

Good morning!

Learn to hold your tongue; five words cost Zacharias forty weeks of silence. ---- Richard Fuller.

Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble (Proverbs 21:23). 

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: ...a time to keep silence, and a time to speak (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 7). 

A hymn to read, sing, whistle or hum to the glory of God: LORD SPEAK TO ME THAT I MAY SPEAK. 

Christian Home

Good morning!

The family circle is the most supreme conductor of Christianity. ---- Henry Drummond

Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth! I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old, things that we have heard and known, that our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and His might, and wonders that He has done (Psalm 78:1-4).
