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.
Beginning each day with prayer and time in God’s Word is crucial to the one24worship lifestyle.
This week’s edition of one24worship encourages us to intentionally focus our minds attention in gratitude and our hearts affection in worship each morning, setting the tone for the rest of our day.
Enjoy!
David

Four Observations
Mind Your Mind: A Guide to a Joyfully Inspired Life - Article by Steph Cherry at KHCB.org
Excerpt: “Gratitude and joy help to train your brain to seek out moments of gratitude through neuroplasticity. Meaning, your brain can create a new neural pathway by actions like simply noticing what is beautiful, hopeful, inspiring, or kind right where you are. Thankfulness is generative.” 👉 Read More…
How Morning Worship Changes Your Life - Article at Church.org
Excerpt: “Starting your day with morning worship isn’t just about checking off a religious obligation—it’s about setting a robust foundation for your life. Morning is when the mind is fresh, distractions are minimal, and the day stretches ahead with possibilities.

SONG "Grace Flows Down/We Fall Down” by Nineties Worship Night - YouTube Video: Grace Flows Down/We Fall Down
The decade of the 1990’s was such an amazing time for new worship songs being released into the church! Here are two simple choruses that made such a profound impact on a generation of one24worshipers during those years! dg
MEDLEY
“Amazing grace / How sweet the sound / Amazing love / Now flowing down / From hands and feet / That were nailed to the tree / Grace flows down and covers me…”
“It covers me… / It covers me… / It covers me… / And it covers me…”
“We fall down we lay our crowns… / At the feet of Jesus… / The greatness of mercy and love… / At the feet of Jesus…”
“And we cry holy, holy, holy… / We cry holy, holy, holy… / We cry holy, holy, holy… / Is the Lamb…”
