40 Days of Prayer, Worshiping As A Sacred Rhythm, 2 Peter 3:18, Week 4, Day 7

WORSHIPING AS A SACRED RHYTHM 2 PETER 3:18

I once had a mentor who always said, “Context is king.” So, let’s look at the context of our verse for today, 2 Peter 3:18 New International Version
18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.
Before we continue, take a moment to read the entire third chapter.
In this chapter, we see a dichotomy of warnings about the last, evil days and the beauty of the patient character of God with the promise of a new heaven and a new earth. So, where does worship fit into all of this?
My brothers and sisters, as we meditate on worship as a sacred rhythm, I would encourage us to see it as a rhythm we are beginning now that will never end for all eternity. Let us be found as followers of Jesus that praise and give glory in the difficult days here on earth and continue that praise while we get to stand in His glorious presence. Our acts of worship now are but a glimpse of eternity. The rhythms of work and arduous tasks and burdens will pass away, but our rhythms, which include worship to the one, true God, are what we can rest in. Glory and praise to the Lord is what lasts! So, “To Him be the glory both now and forever!”

How can you incorporate worship into your daily rhythms this week in ways that you’ve never tried before?

REFLECTIVE PRAYER

Jesus, help me to pause. Help me to be still before You and worship You from a heart that is content and true. Would You help me see the larger picture of worship? Would my rhythms not be a distraction from Your presence but rather flow from worshiping You. You are worthy of it all. Amen
