Welcome to this issue of one24worship - Because worship is a daily lifestyle, one 24-hour day at a time, not just a weekly event.
The one24worship Newsletter is a weekly offering of inspiration, ideas, and insights... 1-2-4: one verse, two quotes, and four observations at a time.
This week, one24worship begins with One Verse about praise rising up before all nations and Two Quotes assisting us to better define worship.
The Observations then take us from worship to hope to thankfulness and we end with a fresh take on a song that includes praise rising up from around the nations.
Enjoy!
David

One Verse
“For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up before all the nations.” Isaiah 61:11 ESV
Two Quotes
Max Lucado
“Worship is the act of magnifying God. Enlarging our vision of him. . . . Of course, his size doesn’t change, but our perception of him does.” Max Lucado

Dallas Willard
“Now we must not worship without study, for ignorant worship is of limited value and can be very dangerous.” Dallas Willard

Four Observations
Worship is a Lifestyle - Article by Melodie Malone at PassionEquip .com
Excerpt: “A high view of God results in extravagant worship. But lose sight of His greatness and ‘goodness,’ and we will spend our days asking the created to satiate what can only be satisfied by the Creator. ” 👉 Read More…
The Power of Confident Hope - Article from Dr. Mark D. Roberts at Fuller De Pree Center
Excerpt: “The Bible has a lot to say about hope. Yet, when we read what the Bible says, it’s quite possible that we’ll misunderstand what we read.” 👉 Read More…
Being Thankful Isn’t Optional - Blog Post by Jacob Riggs at JacobsBlog .com
Excerpt: “Being thankful is not optional for us. Ephesians 5:20 says, ‘giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.’ We might default to 1 Thessalonians 5:18 which says ‘give thanks in all circumstances . . .’ That one might seem easier than the instruction in Ephesians 5 which says we should be giving thanks for everything. ” 👉 Read More…
SONG “The Lord's Prayer” (International) | Tommy Walker - YouTube Video by Tommy Walker from The Psalm 33 Sessions
This is such a powerful new rendition of Tommy’s song from 2004. Revelation 7:9 says that there will be, “a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb…” So, it is fitting that this version of “The Lord’s Prayer” is expressed in several languages: English, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, Tagalog, Korean, and Italian. Enjoy! dg
CHORUS & BRIDGE
“For Thine is the kingdom / And the power and the glory / Forever and ever Amen!”
“Honored and praised / Lifted and raised / Honored and praised be Thy Name.”
