Yesterday's Word
Worship God with your praises
Oh come, let us sing to the Lord!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
For the Lord is the great God,
And the great King above all gods.
- Psalm 95:1–3
When we worship God, we express our reverence, love, and devotion to Him. A heart filled with worship for the Father is a joyful heart, for it knows for whom it lives and with whom it will spend eternity. No one else deserves our worship or praise, only the almighty God, King of kings and Lord of lords.

I will extol You, my God, O King;
And I will bless Your name forever and ever.
Every day I will bless You,
And I will praise Your name forever and ever.
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
And His greatness is unsearchable.

Worship God with all your being!

Day Before Yesterday's Word
Wait with patience
I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
- Psalm 40:1
Patience! It is so easy to talk about and so difficult to practice! In the world we live in, everything is fast and instant, and patience has become increasingly rare. We want everything immediately!
When God asks us to wait and be patient, we must remember that this will only work if we truly trust in Him, knowing that He is able to resolve any situation.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.
- Psalm 27:14
Waiting with confidence fills us with hope. If we know God well, we know that He is faithful and always keeps His word. Therefore, we can wait with a calm heart and with the certainty that He will act at the right time.
But we also need to be strong and courageous. Waiting does not mean burying our heads in the sand. It means that we can face any situation knowing that God is in control.
He helps us to wait patiently, but He also shows us what we can do in faith while we wait. His desire is to shape our character more into the image of Jesus, and seasons of waiting are good times for learning.
Wait patiently for the Lord, but do not remain stagnant. Use the waiting time to move forward in the Lord and allow Him to shape you. The goal is to become more like Jesus.
