Easter: A Walk Towards Holy Week (10 Day Plan)Sample

DAY 3 | The Heart of True Worship

Jesus once again cleansed the temple, showing His passion for genuine worship. It's easy to fall into ritualistic religion, going through the motions without engaging our hearts. The crowd's praise quickly turned into cries of "Crucify Him" just days after shouting Hosanna as He entered the city. This shift highlights the danger of fickle worship based on circumstances rather than a deep-rooted faith. True worship requires us to acknowledge Jesus for who He is, not just for what He can do for us.

Today, consider the state of your "temple," your heart, and your life. Are there areas that need cleansing? Is your worship of Jesus based on circumstance, or do you praise Him for who He truly is—your Lord and Savior? Ask God to reveal any hypocrisy or superficiality in your worship. Repent and worship Him with your whole heart and soul.

GUIDED PRAYER:

Father God, help me to recognize Your presence in my life and respond with faith. May my worship be genuine and rooted in who You are, not just what I hope You will do for me. Help me align my desires with your purpose for my life. And help me cultivate a lifestyle of worship that permeates every aspect of my life, not just Sunday mornings.

Amen.
