Thoughts on Today's Verse...
This exhortation comes from the days of God's physical Temple in Jerusalem. For us, God's New Covenant people, God's Temple is the church (1 Corinthians 3:16) and our physical bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19). Let's joyfully celebrate God's goodness as we thank him with others in our church family as we worship as a church family. Let's also glorify God with our bodies (Romans 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 6:20) as we live intentionally, in holiness and honor, as we worship God in every area of our lives (Hebrews 12:28-13:16)! Let's give thanks and praise God's name in public, in private, and in the community.
My Prayer...
Father, I enter into the most holy place of your presence and approach you through the presence and intercession of Jesus, my Savior and Lord. I am thrilled to know you listen to my heart as I sing songs of praise. I am overjoyed to know you welcome me into your presence. I am thrilled to be with you and tell you how much I appreciate all you have done for me. Thank you for meeting me in this place and time of prayer until I can come home and see you face-to-face with great joy. In Jesus' name, I praise you and anticipate that glorious day. Amen.
