If the president invited you to the White House for a guided tour, would you go?  Wouldn’t you be excited?  If Coach Calipari invited you to go and watch the KY Wildcats practice, would you go?  That would make my day.  To watch Coach Cal, go over the x’s and o’s of basketball would really be neat.  If Coach Urban Meyer invited you to be on the sidelines when Ohio State plays Michigan, or any football game (if they play) would you go?  Would you be excited?  Would that make your day? What invitation would make you feel special?

We all get that special invitation every Sunday to come and worship the Lord in Spirit and in truth.  Do we get excited?  Do we look forward to meeting with our brothers and sisters?  I know many would drive 2-3 hours to watch their favorite team play, but we sometimes cannot drive 20 minutes to the church building.  We get up early or stay up late to attend a special event but getting up on a Sunday morning to log in for worship is often a chore. We all miss our traditional worship but that is not an excuse to just skip worship.

We should be praising our Lord and Savior every day!

Psalms 100:5 The Lord is good, his mercy is everlasting!! It is very comforting to me to know that the Lord will always be there for me, and his Love for us is Everlasting!

Psalms 111:4 The Lord is Gracious and full of compassion!! Have you ever worked for a boss that was overbearing and hard to get along with?  Our Boss (God) is gracious and full of compassion!!  Our God is our strength and our refuge and has an unfailing love for you and me!

Romans 8:31 If God be for us Who can be against us? With God on our side we do not have anything to worry about.  It is easy to get depressed about current events, the stock market, COVID 19, the civil unrest in our country and the amount of sin and discourse in the world.  But God is on our side!

Brothers and sisters, draw close to God, and he will draw close to you!  With the pandemic are you closer to God?  Are you reading your Bible more?  How is your prayer life? Don not just talk about your worries; take them to God. Pray for guidance as you pray for change.  The creator of this universe is on our side. He wants to be our Father; He wants us to live for him.

Remember:

No eye has seen, No ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him. 

He extends a special invitation to us to be with Him.
