Psalms 124:7

We are bound to experience pain in our broken world. Sadly, that pain often comes as the result of other people’s actions. We’re called to forgive these people, but that’s easier said than done. So, how do we overcome unforgiveness? This devotional looks at the hard, but necessary, work of forgiveness, and invites us to move past hurt to wholeness.

If you approach worship from a consumer perspective—asking, “What do I get out of this?”—you will miss the true purpose of worship. Worship is not about personal preference, entertainment, or convenience; it’s about centering our hearts on God and giving Him the glory He deserves. When we reduce worship to what pleases us, we place ourselves at the center instead of God. True worship shifts the focus away from our wants and toward the worthiness of the One who created us, redeemed us, and reigns over us.

As you consecrate yourself during this season, bring your plans, dreams and desires before Him, trusting fully in His power to rebuild and His grace to restore.
