🙌It's the Friday Call to Worship!🙌

Have you ever sat down for “quiet time” with the Lord, but your thoughts were too loud? Or determined to “get back on track” after wandering off the narrow path but didn’t know how to find it? A relationship with God can feel intangible and hard to grasp, at the current speed of life.

Recently, after a whole lot of life left my head spinning, I sat in front of my Bible blankly. I wondered if ancient words would land on present turmoil. I turned to the Psalms, knowing the authors poured out unfiltered emotions and messy life in those pages. I found relief in Psalm 105. The first five verses actioned specific ways to turn toward God while life rocked, rolled and roared.

“Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; proclaim his deeds among the peoples.

Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell about all his wondrous works!

Boast in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.

Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.

Remember the wondrous works he has done…”

Psalm 105:1-5

Find the verbs. They spell out practical action steps to lead you straight back to Jesus. He is findable and more alive than anything this life has to offer. The rest of Psalm 105 retells history and what God did for His people in the midst of their messy lives.

Our lives can be unpredictable and uncertain, but we can draw near the steadfast King of Glory. Try it today, using the Psalm 105 “formula”. (Read the rest of the psalm if you get stuck on “proclaim what’s He’s already done” or “boast of His glory”.)

Listen to “Already on the Way” by Seph Schlueter and Benjamin William Hastings.
