They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion,
and they shall be radiant over the goodness of the Lord (ESV).
Thought for Today
Our verse for today provides a beautiful picture of worship: the people of God gathering together in radiant joy at the goodness God has poured out on them. Often the challenges and disappointments of life cause us to miss the joy of God’s goodness towards us. If we take the time to remember all of the goodness God has blessed us with: the cross; the empty tomb; the Holy Spirit; the gift of faith; eternal life; family; our daily bread; and on and on; we will become radiant as we enter His courts. Take just 5 minutes to make a list of His goodness towards you. I bet you can fill a page! Review it before you go to church and see how it impacts your attitude towards worship.
Prayer
Lord God, thank You for all the goodness You have poured out on my life. Help me to celebrate Your goodness this weekend with radiant joy. Amen.
Devotional Quote
This life therefore is not righteousness, but growth in righteousness, not health, but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it, the process is not yet finished, but it is going on, this is not the end, but it is the road. All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified. ― Martin Luther
Quote of the Day
Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world. ― Desmond Tutu
