One Verse
“Abraham said, ‘God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.’ So they went both of them together.” Genesis 22:8 ESV
Two Quotes
Ron Owens
“Worship is the response of an adoring heart to the magnificence of God. In the highest sense of the word, it is the occupation of the created with the Creator Himself.” Ron Owens
“…authentic worship is all about giving God adoration and praise - and this is supposed to include doing everything in our life to glorify Him.” Doug Stringer
Excerpt: “We have somehow come to believe that worship equates solely to music and if it’s a musical style we don’t like – or if it’s at a tempo that’s too fast or too slow, too traditional or too contemporary – we use it (and not the accuracy of Scripture being preached) to decide whether or not we will attend a certain church.”
Excerpt: “Worship isn’t just for Sundays; it’s an ongoing conversation with God. We express our love through thoughts, words, and actions, inside and outside the church.”
Excerpt: “God is the Giver of All Good Things. Just as he gave fire and water as gifts of his grace in a dry and thirsty land, and just as he gave daily bread for meals, so would he continue providing all his people needed.”
“Seek first the kingdom and its treasures / Everything else it will be added / All that I'm needing / I know the Lord will provide / I know my God's not empty handed / He gives us blessings upon blessings / I'm still believing / I know the Lord will provide.”
This was Excellent David, all of it!! Yay God!!
