“I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.” (Psalms 9:1)

“I CHOOSE TO WORSHIP”—DAY 6

True Worship never leaves you the way that you came. Isaiah realized his own hopelessly sinful condition while worshipping in the presence of a Holy and righteous God. But, he didn’t remain in that same sin-sick state—and neither should we. God’s redeeming love, unfailing forgiveness and complete cleansing power can wash away the toughest of sins! 🙌🏼 “Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.” (Isaiah 6: 6-7)

“I CHOOSE TO WORSHIP”—DAY 5

True Worship reveals your true spiritual condition. Like Isaiah, we recognize how sinful we really are in the presence of a holy, righteous and perfect God. God’s goodness compels us to confess and draws us into repentance. “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips”. (Isaiah 6: 5)

“I CHOOSE TO WORSHIP”—DAY 4

True worship ignites an uninhibited praise! This type of praise comes from deep within the believer—not just from the lips. This soul-breathed praise is an automatic response when we truly recognize whose presence we are in—The King of Kings and Lord of Lords! The angelic praise and worship experienced by Isaiah rocked the heavenly house! Their praise was so profound that it was contagious—“And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!” (Isaiah 6:3-4)
