I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. For great is your love toward me... Psalm 86:12-13 NIV "with all my heart" I don't know about you but sometimes I'm with David, and sometimes...well...all my heart is not in it. David gives some pointers tho; "I will" There's a choosing here. Despite my feelings, despite my circumstances, I will glorify Your name. And then there's the reason for us to ponder - "For great is your love toward me" Think about that for a minute. God's love towards me is great! We are the object of his love. Great love. Meditating on that leads me to praise God with all my heart... King of endless worth, no one could express how much you deserve. Though I'm weak and poor, all I have is Yours, every single breath! I'm coming back to the heart of worship... #psalms #psalm86 #sunday #worship #thisisourGod #heartofworship #Jesusatthecentre

I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. For great is your love toward me... Psalm 86:12-13 NIV David is clear here about who is at the centre of worship. Sometimes I lose sight of that. Because I'm "going to church". That's just religion. My friends are there I feel better going Sometimes it's good to go Isn't it easy to lose sight of the object of our worship? Creator Redeemer Restorer Humble Hurt Broken for my sin Lover of my soul The bread of life The hope of the world Write your own list this morning of Who God Is. Personified in the Jesus Humiliated on the cross Bore our sins Lived the life I couldn't live Died the death I couldn't die Separated Fractured And Restored. Ressurected And scarred So don't just "go to church", come to worship :) I'll bring you more than a song for a song in itself is not what you have required you search much deeper with...

I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. For great is your love toward me... Psalm 86:12-13 NIV There was a pastor in the UK who was concerned that the church had lost its heart for worship, what they were really there for, so for a year he turned off the sound system and shut the band down, and the church worshipped with just their voices. David writes "I will praise...with all my heart" When that happens, when we truly are praising with all our heart, cut free from the expectations of others, released from the burdens we carry, we get a glimpse of heaven. And in those moments (which may not be in church) the Spirit can heal and bring transforming change. Choose to worship with all your heart. When the music fades And all is stripped away And I simply come Longing just to bring Something that's of worth That will bless Youur heart I'm coming back to the heart of worship... #psalms #psalm86 #heartofworshi...
