DAILY?READINGS: 1 Chronicles 12; Ezekiel 13; John 4:31-54

 

The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.  Psalm 145:18

The Lord Jesus informed the Samaritan woman: “True worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth: for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth” (John 4:23-24). The Holy Spirit guides believers into a deeper understanding of truth concerning God’s goodness in Christ (John 16:13-14). Only through Spirit-led worship founded on divine truth, can the believer offer any acceptable sacrifice of praise to God. If it is not true—it cannot be worship. —W. A. H.

Sigh in us, O Holy Spirit when we know not what to say.
Then our prayer is not in vain and our faith new strength shall gain.
—Charles Gounod
