John 4:23 (ESV)
But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true
worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is
seeking such people to worship him.
President Franklin Roosevelt used to attend church in
Washington. One day somebody phoned the church and asked, "Do you expect
the President to be in church this Sunday?" The rector answered,
"That I cannot promise. But we can expect God to be here, and we fancy
that will be incentive enough for a reasonably large audience." What if we
overheard that the President of the United States was coming to our next
worship service? We'd probably be very excited, invite all our family and
friends and get there early enough to get a front row seat!
If that's what we'd do for the President, how much more
excited should we be every week when someone far greater is expected to attend?
The King of the Universe! Be excited about going to worship services. Let
nothing stop you. Expect God to be there and He will speak things to your
heart, great and mighty things you may not know!
Dear Lord, help us be excited each Sunday that we are
going to see You at church. Help us invite all our family and friends to join
us in worshiping You. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
