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.
Here’s something I’ve learned over the past two decades…
God does not waste anything.
He is able to work all things - ALL THINGS - together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. (See Romans 8:28 ESV.)
This means that He makes sure that even the “leftovers” of our lives are not lost!
And since God does not waste anything, we can live our lives confident that He will not waste our hurts and failures, as well as our joys and triumphs!
This thought is at the very heart of the one24worship community - living our lives AS worship, a daily lifestyle, each 24-hour day, and not just as a weekly event, because…
God does not waste anything.
Enjoy!
David
One Verse
“And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, ‘Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost.’” John 6:12 ESV
Two Quotes
Jeff Lewis
“God’s passion for his name and his glory is the supreme reason for his actions in the world. This does not lessen the fact that he loves us, in fact it strengthens the concept of his love for us.” Jeff Lewis

Why We Can Trust God When We Pray - Article by Allen Jackson at DecisionMagazine .com
