IT IS NOT ENOUGH

“For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”

Exodus 20:11 KJV

We are commanded in the Bible to go to church. “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” (Hebrews 10:25).  However, it is not enough to go to church on Sunday.  We must always worship God.

   

Fanny Crosby wrote a beautiful hymn about going to church.  “Blessèd Day”.  “Blessèd day, when bells are calling Weary souls from earthly care; And we come with hearts uplifted, To the holy place of prayer.”  It is not enough to go to church.  When we go home, we need to worship God in our heart.

It is very important to go to church.  However, just going to church will not save us.  It is only when the blood of Jesus is applied to our heart that we are saved.  We read in the Bible.  “For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sin” (Matthew 26:28).

Heavenly Father, I pray that we will always worship You.  Thank You that we can go to church and be a part of Your family.  Thank You for adopting me.  I love You and appreciate You.  Please comfort and encourage all those who are lonely, hurting and discouraged.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
