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.

With these precepts or tenets in place, let us begin with WORSHIP.

• 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.

1. "Stand up, son of man," said the voice. "I want to speak with you."
2. The Spirit came into me as he spoke and he set me on my feet. I listened carefully to his words.
3. 'Son of man," he said, "I am sending you to the nation of Israel, a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me. They and their ancestors have been rebelling against me to this very day.
4. They are a stubborn and hard-hearted people. But I am sending you to say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says!'
5. And whether they listen or refuse to listen ⏤for remember, they are rebels ⏤at least they will know they have had a prophet among them.

6. "Son of man, do not fear them or their words Don't be afraid even though their threats surround you like nettles and briers and stinging scorpions. Do not be dismayed by their dark scowls, even though they are rebels.
7. You must give them my messages whether they listen or not. But they won't listen, for they are completely rebellious!
8. Son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not join them in their rebellion. Open your mouth, and eat what I give you."

9. Then I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me. It held a scroll,
10. which he unrolled. And I saw that both sides were covered with funeral songs, words of sorrow, and pronouncements of doom.
