PSALM 95:6

Develop a Heart of Worship

When you think of worship, what comes to mind?

Worship is more than just singing songs at church—it’s daily expressing our reverence, awe, and praise towards God.

No matter what we go through, God is always worthy of our worship. And it’s never been more important to prioritize it.

Today, take a few minutes to pause and remember God’s faithfulness. (You may even want to sing praises to Him or tell Him what’s on your mind.)

Then…
