April 7, 2020 Worship in the storm

Reading: Numbers 19-20, Psalm 47, 1 Corinthians 9, and Mark 4

Scripture: Psalm 47:1-2, Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy! For the Lord, the Most High, is to be feared, a great king over all the earth.

Thoughts: As the world dives into trials and tribulations so do we all. Today the trial is surviving the pandemic of 2020 this virus has been fast moving and deadly and it has caused lots of panic and worry from the top down in governments and world powers. The Greatest power out there is God. Here is this Psalm we are being told that we need to clap and praise and shout to God because of his greatness and power and the King of the World even though much of the world does not recognize him as King. When we worship and praise God and put ourselves in a place of gratitude and thankfulness despite our lack and or the scarcity of the items we want or need, we will find that there is no room in our hearts and mind for fear and worry.

Prayer: Father, you are so wonderful, your creation screams of you and points to you. I thank you for your provisions and blessings that you pour out each and every day. I seek your directions and guidance in this situation. Help me to keep myself in a place of worship and honor to you and cast our all fear and worry.
