Psalms of Discipleship. Principle #14 (Worship). April 14, 2013

Hello my dear friends! Everyone has problems, sometimes, even GREAT ones. The blessing for the disciple of Jesus is that in spite of our great problems, we have an even GREATER God. In today's Psalms of Discipleship, the Psalmist is filled with a heart of worship as he praises His great God.

He is greatly to be praised!

Learning to worship Him, better,

Denny

Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #14

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

Key Scripture: 8 There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord, Nor are there any works like Yours. 9 All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord, And they shall glorify Your name. 10 For You are great and do wondrous deeds; You alone are God. Psalm 86:8-10

Core Value: Worship

Allow me to pose this personal question to you: are your problems greater than your God? Before you respond with the “right” answer, give full pause before answering the question honestly. There are some believers who focus more upon the greatness of their problem instead of setting their heart upon the impeccable character and the incredible ways of our Great God.

Here is what I have come to realize: no matter how great is my problem; He can be greatly trusted to help me through it. The key to experiencing the greatness of God while undergoing a great problem is to worship Him greatly. A great God is worthy of great worship!

Principle #14 & Personal Application: Quality disciples are diverse members of a worldwide body of believers who worship Jesus and glorify His Name.

• Who is like the Lord? No one

• Who has works like His? No one

• Who will come and worship and glorify Him? Everyone

Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…

What can I do today that will help me set my heart upon the Lord and worship Him?

What kinds of “great and wondrous deeds” has the Lord done in my life recently?

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, there is no one like You among the gods. O Lord, nor are there any works like Yours. One day from every nation, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. What a glorious time that will be where You will receive the worship due to Your great Name and to Your wondrous deeds. You and You alone are God.
