Devotional 8.1.25

Worthy of Worship 

Revelation 15:3–4

And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and amazing are your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations! Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.”

 

Scripture Reading – Psalm 81

 

In Revelation 15:3–4, the saints sing the song of Moses and the Lamb, declaring God's works as great and marvelous, His ways just and true. This heavenly worship reminds us that God is both mighty and merciful. Psalm 81, by contrast, reveals God's sorrow when His people ignore His voice. God longs for our worship and obedience—not because He needs it, but because we do. In both texts, worship is not just music—it’s a response to God’s character. When we listen, trust, and walk with Him, worship flows naturally from grateful hearts. And when we don’t, God still calls us back, longing to satisfy us fully (Ps. 81:10).

 

The songs we sing shape our view of God and train our hearts to respond in faith. Come, Christians, Join to Sing invites the gathered church to praise joyfully. Thank You Jesus for the Blood draws us to remember the cross and the cleansing power of Christ’s sacrifice. Behold Him lifts our eyes to the gentle glory of Jesus—holy and worthy. You’ve Already Wonreminds us that, though we may face battles, victory is secure in Christ. Together, these songs echo the themes of Revelation 15 and Psalm 81: God is worthy of all worship, and we are called to listen, remember, and trust. Worship anchors our hearts in truth and trains us to behold Jesus daily.

Further reading: Exodus 15:1–21 (The original Song of Moses); Romans 12:1–2; Hebrews 13:15

Reflection Questions:

1.     How does worship help you remember who God is and what He’s done?

2.     Are there areas in your life where you, like Israel in Psalm 81, need to “listen” more closely to God's voice?

 

Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your marvelous works and Your mercy that never ends. Help me to hear Your voice and respond with worship—both in song and in obedience. Forgive me for when I forget, for when I fill my life with noise and neglect to listen. Draw me back to You. Let my heart delight in praising You and trusting You. You are worthy of all glory, honor, and power. Teach me to behold You and rejoice in You daily. Amen.

Devotional.1.5.25

Devotional on   Ephesians 2:4–7, Psalm 51 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus  (Eph. 2:4-7) .   This Sunday we will gather for the first time of this New Year, 2025 and will be returning to our sermon series  Psalms: Heart, Soul, and Mind , beginning with Psalm 51. The New Year brings an opportunity for new beginnings, new goals, and a sense of a fresh start. Psalm 51 is a great chapter to focus on in the beginning of a new year because it is a prayer of repentance, confession, and praise. David, having been convicted of his sin with Bathsheba, pours out his heart to God, asking for forgiveness and mercy. He recognizes...

Devotional. 1.10.25

  Devotional on  Hebrews 3:1-3, Psalm 52   Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,   2  who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house.   3  For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself.    This Sunday we will continue in our sermon series  Psalms: Heart, Soul, and Mind  with Psalm 52. As I was reading this psalm, with the lyrics of our morning worship songs playing in my head, I was struck by the awareness of choice. David is writing during a very difficult and dangerous time, and yet chooses worship instead of despair.    God gave us the gift of free will, the ability to make choices and to have discernment. Many of us have started 2025 with goals, or resolutions. How are...

Devotional 7.11.25

July 11, 2025 – Tell The Story Matthew 28:18-20:  And Jesus came and said to them,  “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.   Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,   teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”   Scripture Reading – Psalm 78   What’s your story? What is God’s redemptive story? Do those intersect for you? This week is a good time to reflect on those questions. The writer of Psalm 78 is recounting the lessons from Israel’s past. Asaph is doing this to remind them of who God is, the mighty and faithful acts he’s done, and that Israel (the tribe of Judah, v. 68) are God’s chosen people. The psalmist’s desire is that they not only repent of their sin and unbelief (v. 32), but that their transformation and turning back to...
