Today is Sunday.
Today our family will gather around the table, enjoy a big breakfast and a hearty conversation about Scripture. Then we will pray together, before leaving and enjoying the day.
This is how we enjoy our Sabbath.
How will you enjoy yours?
Whether you meet with God at home or in a church, there’s one thing that matters most, His Presence.
Come, let us gather together and praise the Lord!
I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.” And now here we are, standing inside Your gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is a well-built city; its seamless walls cannot be breached. All the tribes of Israel- the Lord’s people- make their pilgrimage here. They come to give thanks to the name of the Lord, as the law requires of Israel. Here stand the thrones where judgment is given, the thrones of the dynasty of David. Pray for peace in Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper. O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces. For the sake of the house of the Lord our God. I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem. Psalm 122
It is right and good to praise the Lord. It matters not if your assembly is your family or your larger church.
What matters is that we come to praise Him and give Him the glory due His name.
As we have entered into December and all the busyness that ensues, let us not forget the One we are celebrating.
Jesus Christ.
Emmanuel.
God with us.
Let’s tether our hearts to the center of our celebration.
This sacred moment when we consider well the One Who came to earth in the lowliest of ways…and grew to become our living sacrifice.
It takes my breath away every time I think of it.
Jesus Christ.
Our One Savior.
