Song of the Day
“House of the Lord” by Phil Wickham
Scripture to reflect upon
Devotional thought
Our song of the day speaks of singing to the God who heals, the God who saves, the God who always makes a way! It reminds us of the God who opened the prison doors, parted the sea, turns beggars into royalty, prisoners into free citizens of the Kingdom of God!
This is why there must be joy in the House of the Lord! This is why there must be shouts of praise in His house each time we gather to worship Him! The God who was, is, and ever more will be deserves no less than hearts that exult over His goodness! He is worthy.
So, is there joy in the house of the Lord? Is there joy in your heart? I believe it is the one who understands their depravity to its fullest and the nature of what they were delivered from that will be expressing their joy and gratitude with the fullest conviction! I believe it’s the one who is able to lift their head above the circumstances that seem to be clouding the reality of God at work in their lives, and chooses to trust Him through the trials they face, that will be most enthusiastic in their praises!
“We won’t be quiet, we will shout out Your praise!” Is that your resolve today? Are you eager to shout out the praises of our God? Have you seen Him heal, save, transform, redeem, etc., in your life? If you have, then bring that joy you have experienced to the altar of worship and offer it freely to the God who is amazing and has transformed you!
Prayer
Dear God, I praise the work of transformation that You have done in my life. I do have joy when I think of all that You have saved me from. I love You Lord, and I will bring my joy to the altar as I praise Your matchless Name. Help me to remain in that place of joy, for Your Name’s sake. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
