 What is your life like right now? What would you like your life to be like in say, 15 years? What are you living for? Are you seeking a career? Occupied with finishing school? Do you want a family? Perhaps you just want to enjoy yourself and take whatever comes your way? While you ponder that, let’s take a look at one hypothetical young lady and see how you relate to her!
This young lady reads her Bible at least once a day, takes notes on every meeting, counsels at camp, maybe teaches a Sunday school class or kids club. She dresses modestly, hangs out with a good crowd, doesn’t pursue a career, wants to get married and have a family. Her cooking skills could rival any Iron Chef and her housekeeping talent could put Martha Stewart to shame. And what about 15 years from now? Well, she will have found a godly husband, she will have a family, keep a nice home, teach her daughters to dress modestly and be good mothers, help her sons to become strong moral and spiritual leaders, and have found a good assembly to be involved in. She lives in a nice home, attends missionary prayer meetings, hosts a ladies’ tea every month, and even shares the gospel with some of her neighbors.
Would you want to be her? She is, after all, a good Titus 2 / Proverbs 31 woman, isn’t she? |

I have a question. A question that I want to you answer honestly. How much time did you spend in prayer today?
An hour? Half an hour? Fifteen minutes? Five minutes?
Another question. How much time did God want you to spend in prayer today?
What prayers did you not pray that He could have answered?

 “Charity suffers long and is kind, charity envies not, charity vaunts not itself, is not puffed up, does not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil, rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
I could have recited those four verses to you at the age of five. Growing up with godly parents, the verse was presented for my consideration so frequently that I began to gloss over it, to take the words for granted. Yet, what depth does this passage have that I have not yet grasped?

Worship. It is a word that we often think of in conjunction with the
meetings of the church, particularly when we gather together to
remember the Lord each week. But there is also a place for individual
worship, as we see from the Psalms of David and the life of Abraham,
the altar-builder. Indeed, to truly bring abundant and fragrant worship
to God each Lord’s day, we must be worshipping on our own throughout
our daily lives.
Worship is the natural response of a soul that is living in communion
with the Savior. The better we know Him and the better we come to know
ourselves, the more readily we will take our place at His feet. The
soul that is truly humble cannot help but worship as it ponders the
Lord’s ways with us. How can He love me so? |

 Worship. When we worship, we are displaying what the Lord Jesus means to us. If we truly love and want to worship Christ, we will obey His commandments (Jn. 14:15). Week by week, are given the privilege of obeying Lord's dying request to meet together and remember Him (1 Cor. 11:23-27). In this gathering of worship, we are all priests to God.
