Rejoice in the Lord
There’s a story about a little girl in worship who’s talking really loud and her big brother leans over and says, “SHHHHHH!!” “Why?,” the little girl asked, “Why do I have to be quiet?” Her brother responds, “Because people are sleeping!”
I hope your worship services aren’t that dull! But even more importantly, I hope that you show up ready to give your best to the Lord. Sometimes we forget that our tradition teaches us that one of the main purposes in life is to enjoy God.
The Apostle Paul wrote, “Rejoice in the Lord, always! Again, I say, rejoice!”
May you enjoy God in your worship, in your singing, in your children, in each other, in your prayers, and in your service to the world.
Let us pray: Fill us, O God, with the fullness of your joy. Give us the grace we need to let go of worry, anxiety, any wrongs done to us, or past mistakes. Help us to forgive, to set free, and to move on. May your blessings rain down on us and then flow through us. Fill us, O God, with the fullness of your joy; through Jesus Christ. Amen.
