Numbers 16:1-40; Proverbs 13:1-25; 1 Peter 5:1-14
The Father is seeking such to worship Him. John 4:23 NKJV
Praying that souls will be saved is consistent with God’s heart (2 Peter 3:9). Do we also pray for additional worshippers? That’s why the weary Saviour sat by Sychar’s well. That’s why Nicodemus heard, “You must be born again.” Whether female or male, religious or rejected by the religious, immoral or moral, all are candidates.
God’s grace produces worship in spirit (made spiritually alive) and truth (not empty repetition). John concludes his Gospel with Thomas’ touching worship, “My Lord and my God”! The Father values our worship. Let us aim for passion and excellence in worship now, until we worship eternally. — David W. Oliver
Jesus, our Lord, with what joy we adore Thee.
Lifting our praise to Thyself on the throne! —H. Champney
