Psalms of Discipleship. Principle #33 (Worship) October 5, 2013

Hello my dear friends!

Today's Psalms of Discipleship declare the greatness of our God. The heavens declare His righteousness. Everyone on earth has seen His glory and everyone is expected to worship Him only. A Great God requires a great worship.

Learning to worship Jesus greatly,

Denny

Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #33

Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life

Key Scripture: 6 The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory. 7 Let all those be ashamed who serve graven images, Who boast themselves of idols; Worship Him, all you gods. Psalm 97:6-7

Core Value: Worship

We live in a world where “tolerance” has become the new agenda, the new world-view. In the Christian life there are some negotiables and there are some non-negotiables.

It is true that a disciple of Jesus needs to be a person of tolerance on non-moral issues such as the mode of baptism (immersion vs. sprinkling). However, there is no room for any kind of tolerance when it comes to Who is deserving of our worship. It is Jesus and Jesus only.

He will not tolerate a divided heart.

Principle #33 & Personal Application: Quality disciples align themselves with those who worship the One True God

• The heavens declare His righteousness. So do we

• All the people have seen his glory, including us

• Everyone must worship Him and Him alone. So must we

Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…

What comes to my mind when I think about declaring His righteousness?

What are some of the idols in my life that seek to keep God off of the throne of my heart?

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, may I always give You glory as I tell others of Your righteousness. May my heart always be devoted to You and to You alone.
