Psalm 5: 7

But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence will I bow down toward your holy temple.          

[wendelmyer]

Father we come far and wide to come before the Great I AM, to fall on our knees and worship the one true God. It is Your pleasure that we call you Lord. Our Savoiur was humbled for just a moment. Jesus was faithful throughout it all and came out of it spotless.

Lord be with our President Bush, give him wisdom. Lead his heart. May he be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Even though President Bush will end his time soon. May he not fail to realize that you have a plan for him , a specific purpose.

Heavenly Father we also lift up our troops. We pray about the longings they have, we pray for the wisdom and patience so that they can make good Godly decisions during critical times

Eating As Worship

READ: Genesis 2:8-17

Have you found honey? Eat only as much as you need. —Proverbs 25:16

When you walk into the bookstore and see a table filled with books on dieting, you know it must be January. After several weeks of overeating all kinds of holiday foods, people in many cultures turn their attention to not eating.

Food plays an important role in Scripture. God uses it not only to bless us but also to teach us. Our misuse of food keeps us from knowing God in ways He wants to be known.

In the Old Testament, God gave instructions to Adam as to what to eat and what not to eat (Gen. 2:16-17). Later He gave the Israelites manna to convince them that He was God and to test them to find out if they believed Him (Ex. 16:12; Deut. 8:16). In the New Testament, the apostle Paul stated the proper attitude for everything we do, including eating: “Whether you eat or drink, . . . do all to the glory of God” (1 Cor. 10:31).

When we think of food as a friend that comforts us or an enemy that makes us fat, we miss the wonder of receiving with gratitude a splendid gift from God. Obsessive eating or not eating indicates that we are focused on the gift rather than on the Giver, which is a form of idolatry.

When eating becomes a true act of worship, we will no longer worship food

You alone are worthy, Lord,
To be worshiped and adored;
We to You our tribute bring
As our hearts rejoice and sing. —Hess

When food becomes our god, our appetite for the Bread of Life is diminished.

Bible in One Year: Genesis 7–9; Matthew 3
