Reading God’s Word: John 4; Psalm 4

Memorizing God’s Word: John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Meditating on God’s Word: John 4:23–24 (LSB) But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

Praying God’s Word: “Father, in our meditation today we are given the two essential components of a true worshiper. We must first worship with the right attitude. There is no place for emotionless worship as You seek those who praise, sing about, and proclaim Your mighty deeds. But there is also the side of truth. You have revealed how we are to worship in the truth You have revealed in Your word. Help us to be a people who get both right so that we may be true worshipers! Amen.”
