Thoughts for Today



Sometimes we worship in private. Sometimes we worship with other believers. Worship is a reenactment of the resurrection. There is a unique manifestation of the risen Christ when his church worships in spirit and in truth. 

 

Today's scripture shows a direct connection between worship and being filled with the Spirit. "Be filled with the Holy Spirit" in verse 18 is followed by worship in verse 19. Worship is a natural response to being filled with the Spirit.


Consider this ...



Acts 2 records the Holy Spirit's coming on the Day of Pentecost. One hundred and twenty were filled with the Spirit, and Peter followed with a powerful message about the resurrection of Christ. Three thousand were baptized and added to the church that day.

 

Peter preached about power. And he preached with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit moved through that crowd with power and three thousand people received Jesus!

 

Jesus called us to worship in spirit and in truth. As we invite the Holy Spirit to guide us in our worship, he will bring power to our encounter with God, power to our walk with him, and power for us to reach out to others.
