Verse of the Day - Psalm 34:3

Join me in giving glory to the Lord. Let us honor him together. ~ Psalm 34:3 (NIrV)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

David loved corporate worship, gathering together with others who love God and call on His name. He loved to sing and dance in joy with other people of God for all that God is and had done . In short, he was a party animal! :-)

There is something very blessed about sharing in the joy of the Lord with others who love Him. People say, "I don't need to go to church -- I worship God with my football game from my recliner...", but they are missing out on community living with people who share the same spirit. And connecting with these souls who share commonality with God is revitalizing to us and pleasing to God. When we see someone praising God with their being, we are encouraged to do the same. When we hear someone giving testimony of God's working in their lives, we are encouraged to look for the same in our lives. When we hear about the struggles of other believers, we are encouraged to know we are not alone in our own struggles, and know that there is a place where needs can be shared and prayers can be offered.

I hope you know the joy of a local church family, where you can worship together, grow spiritually, and develop friendships that can support and encourage you. God made us for community, to be connected together as we love and serve Him. He is worthy to be praised, so let's do it together!

Love,
Joelene
