Worship

Sometimes prayer feels like tedious work rather than an invitation to spend time with our loving Creator. This devotional from spiritual director Strahan Coleman invites us to behold God. As Strahan writes, “Beholding is a life founded on the truth that no other offer on earth or in heaven is greater than that of simply staring into the eternal eyes of God, then seeing our world through them.”

Beholding: Deepening Our Experience in God

God’s desire for us is to see ourselves and others the way the He sees us. “Beloved” isn’t a badge to earn, or a gift to withhold from others. It’s our identity, it’s our name, and it’s the strength we need for the journey. It’s time to own our belovedness. Join Sarah Kroger on a five-day journey of unpacking what it means to truly live as beloved children of God.

The Word of God is alive and powerful to produce faith and hope and love in our lives. The Book of Psalms is no exception. Considered by Jesus as one of the three parts of the Old Testament that talks about Him, it will inspire us, help us understand our feelings, and draw us nearer to God. It contains the essence of what God is expecting from His children: Worship.

The Book of Psalms

This plan helps you understand the entire Bible as you complete the Bible in a year. You start the New Testament with Luke and Acts (roughly the first 60 years of New Testament history). The Old Testament is read in near-chronological order with Psalms and historical books (such as Kings) often read the same day as corresponding events or contemporary prophets. May you hear God’s voice as you read!

Have you ever asked, "God, what do you actually want FROM me?" Or maybe even the question "God, what do you want FOR my life?"
