Call to Worship
Have someone read aloud:
Psalm 1:1-2 (NKJV)
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night.
Prayer
Almighty God, we praise You for You have made known to us who You are and what Your will is through Scripture. Your holy Word is precious to us. How vast is Your knowledge. How good is the perfection of Your holy Truth. We humble ourselves and exalt You on most high for great and awesome are You. No one can compare to You. Be praised and magnified, O most high and exalted One, both now and forevermore. Amen.

Scripture Reading
Read aloud (together if applicable).
R-34 GOD’S WORD 上帝的道
Psalm 19:7-13a, 14 (NKJV)
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul;
The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.
Who can understand his errors?
Cleanse me from secret faults.
Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;
Let them not have dominion over me.
...
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer.

Worship Through Prayer
Father, help me to understand that Your Ways are perfectly good. Give me faith to believe Your Word. My earthly eyes often fail to see that You are the Almighty God who is sovereign and good. My fears drive me to take control of my life situations, forcing it to go my way. Forgive me for trying to be the god of my own life and of others. Help me to trust in You fully.
Heavenly Father, give me wisdom to see and understand that Scripture reveals the Lord Jesus and Your holy plan of redemption of fallen humankind and creation that started in Genesis 3. Let me not pick and choose Scripture thinking it's all about me. Forgive me for distorting Your holy message by making myself the center of Your Story.
Lord, protect my heart and mind from any sin and deception. Many are interpreting, teaching, and applying the Bible erroneously. Save me from willful and unintentional errors. Let Your Holy Spirit expose any false beliefs and enable me to live only in the light of Your Truth. Keep me in the path of righteousness for Your Name's sake until I come to You safely unto eternity. Thank You. Amen.
