If you knew that a bright star was leading you to God, would you follow it? Would you bring the finest gifts? Would you walk for miles and miles to see Him?  The wise men sacrificed their time and comfort to travel, hunt for food, and sleep in tents, to follow the star and see the new King. The high priests at Herods court in Jerusalem told the wise men that according to Scripture, the Messiah would be born in the city of Bethlehem. The wise rushed off, but the high priests did not come to worship. Why?  Did they feel like they had zero need? Did they figure that they knew God already? Do we only need Jesus at Christmas time? 

Oh Lord Jesus, poor as I am, what can I give the King, who has everything? What could satisfy my hearts longing? Who can fill my emptiness? How could I possibly repay the One who paid all the debts I owe? All I have to give Him is my heart. Please accept all my broken pieces, it’s all I have.

Getting caught up in the holy Presence of Jesus, is the gift that our Lord opens with great pleasure. Worship Him with your kindness towards all. Glorify Jesus by giving greater grace for an entire season. Pass on His blessing of peace. Jesus has done all He came to do, and it is sufficient. Invite Him to take you back to where you encountered His mercy. Lord, we are sorry for coming with our own agendas. We open up our hearts to You. We just need Jesus at Christmas and all our days through. Oh Lord Jesus, nothing else will do.

Psalm 150:1-6 “Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise Him in His mighty heavens. Praise Him for His acts of power;  praise Him for His surpassing greatness. Praise Him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise Him with the harp and lyre, praise Him with timbrel and dancing, praise Him with the strings and pipe, praise Him with the clash of cymbals, (your hands) praise Him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.”

Worship Jesus at high levels of praise

Be praised, our Lord is raised!  Jesus washed away all our sin and shame. His mercy gave the very reason — why we shine. He did so much — without a single cost to us. Our victory is in His blood, and our confidence is in His name. Nothing missing, nothing lost, He gives us breath and every gain. Jesus alone is worthy of every praise, He is our Savior, our Messiah, Yaweh. Our praise is a storm that wrecks the plans of the enemy. We choose to honor the power in Jesus name! He is the One above all fame. We sing to bring Him pleasure and all glory. My confidence shall remain forever in His name.

The various levels of  intentional spirit-led worship of our Lord, our King, our Savior, our Redeemer, our Counselor, our Lord Jesus, the reason for every single season.

42:50 ❤️ 4) In the Tehillah level of worship, we sing to God from our hearts, an unrehearsed new song for the healing, for the full releasing of  His blessing. Psalm 22:26 The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the Lord will praise Him— may your hearts live forever! All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will bow down before Him, for dominion belongs to the Lord, and He rules over the nations.” Absolute control is His.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him, all things were made; without Him, nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1
