To Hear and Do
Heavenly Father,
Sundays are sacred. When we gather in your house for worship, we do so to hear your Word point us to the saving work of your Son, Jesus Christ. While his work of salvation is complete and we eagerly await his return, his work in and through us continues. Therefore, let us not only hear the Word this morning, but consider how we will also apply it to our lives. As we leave your house, let your Holy Spirit guide our meditation and pondering of the Word so that he can transform our hearing into doing. Jesus said we are blessed when we hear your Word and do what it says. Equip me to put sermon and song into practice and bless and build up others as I do.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
