Do you know God is present when you worship?
<p>Have you ever been in a worship service when someone unexpected or important enters the room? It doesn’t take long for the buzz of the crowd to make everyone aware that a notable person is in their presence.</p><p><br></p><p>We know from Scripture that “where two or three are gathered” in the name of Jesus, he has promised to be among them (Matthew 18:20). One of the most important moments of worship is to recognize and acknowledge that the holy presence of Jesus is present, tangible in the room, when believers have gathered in his name.</p><p>God told the prophet Zephaniah that his holy presence would be in their midst. Why does the God of heaven, the mighty One who saves, choose to be present with us, his children? </p><p>Zephaniah said:</p><p><br></p><p>“He will rejoice over us with gladness.” God enjoys being with his people.“He will quiet us by his love.” God wants us to feel the comfort and peace of his loving presence.“He will exult over us with loud singing.” God’s voice is filled with joy, and he wants us to hear him sing, speak, and exult over his children.</p><p><br></p><p>Imagine the Creator of the world loving us in such personal ways. We are beloved, enjoyed by our great God. If we don't understand God’s promise, we will miss the joy and blessings of his presence. We will worship unaware that he is there to hear our praise. We will be distracted and disconnected from worship if we don't realize the Lord of Lords has actually entered the room and wants us to hear his words.</p><p><br></p><p>The next time you gather with brothers and sisters in Christ, remember that Jesus is there with you. His presence is tangible, evident in the worship of those who return his love. Take a few moments to sense his pleasure, even now, at being in your midst. You are God’s beloved, and he loves blessing you with his holy presence.</p><p><br></p><p>Knowing God is the beginning of wisdom. Know that God is in your midst.</p>

Do you know there is only one God?
<p>The Apostle Paul lived his life and ministry knowing he had been miraculously saved by Christ. Paul had daily memories of living as the Pharisee people called “Saul of Tarsus.” He had done terrible things in God’s name. Later, God did amazing things through a man who understood the transformational power of complete forgiveness. </p><p><br></p><p>Saul of Tarsus was led by misguided passions that brought harm to God’s children. When he became the Apostle Paul, his redeemed life accomplished more than he could ever have imagined. </p><p><br></p><p>Saul of Tarsus was an educated, devout Pharisee who knew a great deal about God. The Apostle Paul was a humble, redeemed man who actually knew God. He had met him on the road to Damascus. Paul loved God as one who had been saved by Jesus Christ.</p><p><br></p><p>He described Jesus, the God he knew, saying:</p><p><br></p><p>Jesus is the King of the ages. He rules the world yet has offered to rule our lives. Jesus is immortal. He rose from his grave, proving we can rise from our graves as well. Jesus is invisible. Jesus is love (1 John 4:8). Like love, he is invisible but real, tangible, and powerful. Jesus is the only God. He is God and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12).Paul said that Jesus deserved to be honored and glorified forever and ever, amen. The word amen means “so be it.” When we think of Jesus today, we should think of Paul’s description. The Jesus Paul knew and met on the road to Damascus is the same Jesus we worship today. </p><p><br></p><p>When Jesus saved your soul, you were born again. He has “raised you” to walk in a new life. The key is knowing Jesus as Paul knew him. He is our immortal, invisible King. End this day by offering your King, your Lord and Savior, your highest honor and praise. </p><p><br></p><p>Knowing God is the beginning of wisdom. Know that Jehovah God is the only God.</p>

Do you know what God values?
<p>Jesus wanted us to know how much we were loved by the God we worship. God cares about his children. Jesus was probably pointing to the many birds that, even today, fly above the Sea of Galilee. They didn’t have to work all day to have enough; they simply needed to focus on what God had already provided.</p><p><br></p><p>Jesus pointed to the birds and reminded his disciples that God valued people more than the rest of his creation. Our priorities get confused when we don’t share God’s values and trust his provision. </p><p><br></p><p>In a culture that defines “enough” as just a little more, it's good to take inventory of our values. Do we want to have more than God wants to provide? Do we spend too much time and money on things that distract us from God’s best gifts?</p><p><br></p><p>Jesus taught his disciples that God values people the most. God cares more about our peace, joy, comfort, and contentment than our stuff. Do we spend too much time working for things or accumulating things that don’t have eternal value?</p><p><br></p><p>God called his people to work hard but not to overwork. God called his people to plan for the future but defined our future eternally. God taught that the most important successes in life would be rewarded in heaven. Jesus said God values people more than anything.</p><p><br></p><p>Consider the birds of the air. They take time to soar above this world, knowing God has provided for their needs. Jesus reminded his disciples that God wanted us to do the same. If we examine our lives with a higher perspective, we will understand what God most wants his children to achieve. He values what blesses and benefits his people because God values his family!</p><p><br></p><p>Knowing God is the beginning of wisdom. God knows and values your life.</p>
