The Psalms are good devotional readings for preparing our hearts for praise and rejoicing. Many of the Psalms start out with worries and concerns by the Psalm writer; however, we are brought to see that even in times of fear, worries, and trials (Psalm 28), we can rejoice for God is always there with us. And in our times of sorrow for sins that we have committed against God (Psalm 51), He is ever faithful to forgive. That should definitely cause our hearts to rejoice.........ALWAYS! I encourage you to read through the Psalms and rejoice!
The Bible verse for the Word Art Wednesday challenge is Psalm 33:1 - "Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous; for praise is comely for the upright."

ReplyDeleteI love your attitude about worship. It truly needs to be an every day event and the way we live; not just something we do on Sundays.
Wishing you a beautiful week,

Our pastor just preached a message yesterday on corporate worship as a means of evangelism (we should "go and tell" others about God and also invite them to "come and see" as we meet and worship God). It really helped me think about our Sunday worship differently, and also has me wanting to be more mindful every day of the week to "proclaim his excellencies" (1 Peter 2:9) to a watching world. I appreciate your words about rejoicing and worship!
