God’s Plan for Financial Freedom
Today’s Scripture…
“But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way.” John 4:23 (NLT)
Devotional Thought…
Today’s verse tells us an interesting thing about God… He is looking for true worshippers. Whether you are worshipping on Sunday morning in a Worship Center, on a weekday morning having your daily devotion, or any other time God wants us to be true worshippers.
Each time we encounter the Lord or the scriptures, we are encountering truth. (John 14:6; John 17:17) When we encounter truth, God wants us to respond truthfully. For example, if we are reading a passage where God reveals to us we are sinning, a true worshipper doesn’t pretend they didn’t see it or doesn’t ask for God’s forgiveness when they have every intention of doing it again. True worshippers acknowledge the truth that God reveals, and talk to God about what He has revealed…
If God is calling us to put away something that we honestly enjoy, be honest about it. Ask God to take away your appetite for it, so you will want to put it away. (Isaiah 6:5-7)
If God is calling us to take on something that we don’t think we can take on, be honest about it. Let God know you don’t think you can do it and let Him convince you that He can. (Exodus 3-4)
As for Sundays, think about what God could do with a room full of true worshippers. People who when singing “I surrender all” were begging God to make “surrender” a reality in them. People who in coming face to face with scriptural truth were desperately asking God to make that truth a reality in them.
God is looking for true worshippers today, and will be this Sunday. Let’s approach worship in a way where we are desperate for Him to find us truly worshipping.
Kingdom Focused!
