Meditation in  WORSHIP

God is able to speak to us through those words that we read and reread, as we think about what we have read and ponder those words infiltrate our minds and change us. They give us a better understanding of what God is saying in His word. Through that better understanding we begin to think differently, and our attitudes and lives change. Even our actions toward ourselves, others and the world change to be more Christlike.

And isn't that what Christians desire? To be Christ like. To be Christ followers. To know God.

• Begin with asking God to open your heart to what He has for you to hear today.
• Read a passage of the Scripture
• Is a miracle in the passage? Is a relationship deepened in some way? Has God stepped in and shown His power, 
• Has he shown His discipline or even His protection or His end goal? 
• Has Jesus, lived life, shown love, or taught?
• Whatever the passage holds that brings you an awareness of who He is, praise Him for that revelation. 
• Give Him glory and honor and praise. Thank Him for what He has given.
• Think on these things. Ponder them. Reread the passage. Write about what you read. Pray! This is Worship!
• Thank God for His presence this moment.

22. Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake, while he sent the people home. 
23. After sending them home, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. Night fell while he was there alone.

24. Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves.
25. About three o'clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water. 
26. When the disciples saw him walking on the water, they were terrified. In their fear, they cried out, "It's a ghost!"

27. But Jesus spoke to them at once. "Don't be afraid," he said. "Take courage. I am here!"

28. Then Peter called to him, "Lord, if it's really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water."

29. "Yes, come," Jesus said.
So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.
30. But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. "Save me, Lord!" he shouted.

31 Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. "You have so little faith," Jesus said. "Why did you doubt me?"

32. When they climbed back into the boat, the wind stopped.
33. Then the disciples worshiped him. "You really are the Son of God!" they exclaimed.

34. After they had crossed the lake, they landed at Gennesaret.
35. When the people recognized Jesus, the news of his arrival spread quickly throughout the whole area, and soon people were bringing all their sick to be healed.
36. They begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and all who touched him were healed.
Matthew 14:22-36 NLT
