Sunday's Comin' 8/23/2014

Here's another prayer from Matthew Henry. This one is a portion of his Family Prayer for the Lord's Day Morning. I hope you have a blessed Lord's Day tomorrow!

Now we bid this sabbath welcome: Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, hosanna in the highest. O that we may be in the Spirit on this Lord’s Day; that this may be the sabbath of the Lord in our dwelling; in our hearts, a sabbath of rest from sin, and a sabbath of rest in God. Enable us, we pray thee, so to sanctify this sabbath, as that it may be sanctified to us and be a means of our sanctification; that by resting today from our worldly employments, our hearts may be more and more taken off from present things and prepared to leave them; and that by our employing our time today in the worship of God, we may be led into a more experimental acquaintance with the work of heaven, and be made more meet for that blessed world.

Corporate worship is designed to remind you that in the center of all things is a glorious and gracious King, and this king is not you.
