Week Forty-one...
Welcome! We pray that you have all had a precious time worshipping the Lord this morning! Below you will find some thought provoking questions that will provide you a starting point to your journal writing to complete this week. We hope that you will find this time soul satisfying!
Our reading this week was Luke 20 - John 4...
1. Take a few quiet moments to remember the most painful event or circumstance of your life. Compare your suffering to the agony Christ experienced for you. Ask Him how He wants to bring healing and victory through a trial you are facing right now.
He prayed more fervently, and He was in such agony of spirit that His sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood. (Luke 22:44)
2. Although Jesus had just left the disciples, they were filled with “great joy” after they worshiped Him. What caused their joy? What in your worship experience brings you joy?
While He was blessing them, He left them and was taken up to heaven. They worshiped Him and then returned to Jerusalem filled with great joy. (Luke 24:51-52)
3. God wants you to worship Him in spirit and in truth - with all your heart, mind, emotions, body, and will. Evaluate your own personal worship, writing down each of these elements above. Next to each write on or two ways you can involve that aspect more in your worship.
But the time is coming and is already here when true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. The Father is looking for anyone who will worship Him that way. For God is spirit, so those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth. (John 4:23-24)
