Worship with All Our Heart - 1

 

Worship with All Our Heart - 1

“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord.” (Psalm 150:6)

Praise the Lord in the tulip garden.

Our souls were made for worship. The psalmist reminds us that worship isn’t reserved for a perfect day or a quiet temple—it flows from breath itself. Every sunrise invites us to sing, every heartbeat reminds us of His mercy. Worship is not only in song but in living with gratitude, kindness, and love. When we praise God in joy and in tears, heaven touches earth.

Prayer:

Lord, teach me to worship You with all my heart—when life is bright and when shadows fall. May my breath, my words, and my deeds bring glory to Your name. Amen.

A Quiet Encounter in the Sunflower Fields

 

Over the past few weeks, I stepped away from the usual rhythm of life. Not feeling well, I missed Sunday services and quietly withdrew to rest. Yet even in my stillness, God was gently at work.

He led me, unexpectedly, to the sunflower gardens of Thailand. There, surrounded by endless rows of golden blooms lifting their faces to the sun, I found peace. I saw His hand in everything—the warmth of the light, the silent strength of the distant mountains, the gentle shifting of the sky.

Each sunflower, turning toward the light, reminded me of our call to lift our hearts toward God. In that moment, I felt the Lord’s nearness not in noise or activity, but in the hush of creation. My spirit was renewed.

The hymn How Great Thou Art came to mind, its lyrics echoing the joy in my heart:

"Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art!"

Indeed, my soul sang. Even in quiet seasons, God’s greatness surrounds us, comforts us, and gently restores us.

“Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable.” — Psalm 145:3
