SCRIPTURE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.\u00a0God\u00a0is\u00a0a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship\u00a0him\u00a0in spirit and in truth. (John 4:23\u201324)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DEVOTIONAL:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elevate your focus by practicing the next two creative, but simple, ways to connect with God: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number Four:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worshiping God is in the Spirit and\nin truth, adoring His greatness and character. We know Him because His Word has\nrevealed His nature, and the Bible is full of accounts where He has manifested\nHis goodness to many. Musicians will use their instruments in worship, dancers\nwill dance, artists will create, poets will compose\u2026Use your gift to honor God\ntoday. (Psalm 95:6\u20137, 150, John 4:23\u201324)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number Five:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singing to God from our hearts or\nalong with a praise and worship recording will create an atmosphere of heaven\nas we lift our voices to God. It can refresh our hearts, refocus our minds on\nthe important, and pull us out of our fleshly thoughts. Singing anointed praise\nsongs to God heals broken hearts, refreshes our souls, excites (or calms) our\nspirits, encourages us and fills us with God\u2019s presence. (Psalm 149:1\u20134, Ephesians\n5:18\u201319)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRAYER:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heavenly Father, help me to refocus my priorities and my perspective to honor You and put the things that are important to You first in my heart and life. Holy Spirit, guide me in worshiping the Father today in spirit and truth. In Jesus\u2019 Name, Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
