Wednesday: Sitting With God
Father, thank You for anointing Jesus’ body even before He died, and for the way Jesus defended this beautiful, over-the-top act of worship, highlighting His priesthood and kingship. Thank You for giving us Jesus and not holding anything back from us (Romans 8:32).
We want to love You with what looks like excess to the rest of the world. Inspire us in every resource You’ve given us to give what is precious and what costs us much, for You.
"Lord, it is fitting to rejoice in Your beauty and to gaze upon Your handiwork. While others may call this a waste of time, we recognize that unless we sit in adoration of You, we will forget Whom we serve and for what purpose. Remind us why worship is always our first response to You. Amen." (Original from Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals)
