Worship

Scripture: Psalm 100           
Focus Verse: Psalm 100:2a
Serve the LORD with celebration!

Commentary:  Some versions translate the Hebrew word iv'dû as serve and some as “worship.”  It gives us an indication that servanthood is a way to worship and celebrate God.  Jesus lived his relationship with God as a servant, and as we continue to follow Jesus, may we find the goodness of God in serving others. 

Reflection:  How do you worship God through serving others?  How has servanthood helped you follow Jesus?

ACTS Prayer
Adoration:  We bless your Name, Creator God, for you are good and all of your works are wonderful! I celebrate you!
Confession:  I admit that I sometimes grow weary of serving others.  Help me find the joy that comes when I acknowledge that in serving others, I am worshiping You.
Thanksgiving:  Thank you for showing me opportunities in my life and my church to worship you by serving others. 
Supplication:  I pray for those who are forced and coerced into service, especially victims of human trafficking.

ACTS of Faith:  Learn about the signs of human trafficking and make a commitment to report any signs you see.
