Almighty God, praise be to You who not only saved us but redeemed our lives that we may live and serve You all the days of our lives. What great privilege You have bestowed upon us that we may witness Your mighty work in and through Your people. You alone are worthy of all praises and honor. None to us but all to You be glory and adoration both now and forevermore. Amen.
Worship Through Songs
Scripture Reading
Read aloud (together if applicable).
R-28 BE NOT ANXIOUS 不必憂慮
Matthew 6:24-30; 32b-33 (NKJV)
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
... For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Song of Response
Worship Through Prayer
Lord, purify me that I may be a clean instrument fit for Your use. May the righteousness of the Lord Jesus be my righteousness. Search me and lead me to confess any hidden sins. Clear my conscience. May the Enemy of my soul find nothing to accuse me because of Your forgiveness and cleansing of all my sins.
Lord, make me a godly witness that is faithful and true. Allow my conversations with anyone be honoring in Your sight. Let Your love and goodness flow freely in my conversations with others who need to know You and be blessed by You. May my words be loving and true. Teach me to love those whom You allow me to meet and talk with each day. Give me Your words of life to share to others.
Lord, let me be ready every moment to share Your love to people I meet everyday. Let me not be obnoxious rather let me be a blessing to them. Let me speak from a heart that has experienced firsthand Your love to me. May people want to know You because of how blessed I am as Your child. Bless the opportunities You've given me to bless others.
