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 5.16.25

Yours, O Lord, Is the Kingdom   1 Chronicles 29:10-11 Blessed are you, O LORD, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever. Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.   Scripture Reading: Psalm 70   Psalm 70 is a cry for urgent help: “Make haste, O God, to deliver me!” In contrast, 1 Chronicles 29 declares God’s eternal rule, power, and glory. Together, they reveal two essential truths of faith: God is both near to the needy and exalted above all. We pray for deliverance while praising His unshakable sovereignty. David, in his final prayer, praised the Lord not for personal blessing, but for God’s eternal kingship and majesty. When we feel weak and desperate like the psalmist, we look up and remember the greatness of our God and His amazing love demonstrated in sending Jesus Christ (John 3:16; R...

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...

Devotional 4.25.25

Grace Received, Grace Shared Ephesians 2:8–10 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.   Scripture Reading: Psalm 66   Ephesians 2:8–10 reminds us that our salvation is purely a gift of grace—not earned, but given, so that no one may boast. We are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to live lives of purpose, filled with good works prepared by Him. Psalm 67 echoes this theme, celebrating God’s mercy and blessing so that His ways may be known throughout the earth. As we come to the Lord’s Table on Sunday, we remember we are saved by grace and sent by grace. Communion is not just a remembrance of Christ’s death—it’s also a recommissioning to live out the grace we've received, that all nations might rejoice in God’s saving power through our ...
