Thursday, March 11, 2021 - Lent Day 20
Come, now is the time to worship.
Come, now is the time to give your heart.
Come, just as you are, to worship.
Come, just as you are, before your God.
Come.
One day ev'ry tongue will confess, You are God,
One day ev'ry knee will bow.
Still, the greatest treasure
Remains for those
Who gladly choose You now.
Come, now is the time to worship.
Come, now is the time to give your heart.
Come, just as you are, to worship.
Come, just as you are, before your God.
Come.
“You shall not make for yourself an idol ... You shall not bow down to them or worship them ... ”
Are there things that creep their way into your life? Have you ever thought, 'just a little' will not matter? Have you ever tried to make room for it all, only to discover, certain things soon take over?
Sometimes, in order to have enough room for one thing, you have to get rid of something else.
As you worship Christ alone, above all else, as you make God and neighbor first, trust these truths in God's grace alone: Jesus is here to get rid of everything else, so other things do not creep into your spiritual life, so not even 'just a little' becomes a factor, so every tongue will confess and every knee will bow.
There is room only for God! Come, now is the time! Come, now is the time to give your heart!
Let us pray: Jesus, today I tell you there are things I try to leave room for, things which easily start to take over first place in my life, things which keep me from worshiping you, things which keep me from giving you my heart. In the truth of your grace alone, Jesus, free my life and my spirit from all that gets in the way of trusting you first. In your name, I have no other gods before you, and I worship you alone. Amen.
