Observation
Some
people miss church on Sunday at the drop of a hat to do something
else: birthday parties, football games, kid's sports activities,
Disney World, Busch Gardens, fishing, hunting, etc.
This
past Sunday we had to miss church at our church because we were at a
wedding in Savannah, Georgia, so we went to a friend's church one
hour and fifteen minutes outside of Savannah.
It
was good to see our friends and hear my pastor buddy Russell Lyle
preach, but we missed being at our church.
We
missed seeing a lot of you!
My
favorite thing to do on Sunday morning at our church is to greet
people as they come up to the church from the parking lot. I guess
that is why this verse jumped out at me today because “I would
rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God” just like the
Psalmist would!
Application
I
will look forward to being back at our church this coming Sunday!
How
about you? Hope you don't let any other activities keep you away from
church this Sunday!
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, church and church attendance is Your idea. You have told us
not to neglect meeting together. Help me to have the right attitude
when I am at church this Sunday. Don't let me be distracted by stuff
that is not the main thing. Give me a heart to hear and obey Your
Word. I pray for my pastors today. Give them wisdom and the strength
to lead us. Bless them, Lord. May Your face shine on each one of them
and their families.
