Seek To Honor Him

The Lord is not interested in empty words, shallow worship, frigid feelings, superficial service, or legalistic rituals. He desires truth in the inward parts and a heart that is obedient to His Word. He longs for a people who are genuine, faithful, merciful, and who desire to carry out His will in their lives.
Our Heavenly Father and gracious Savior desires mercy and not sacrifice. He longs that we come to a deeper knowledge of Himself, rather than engaging in the outward ritual of burnt sacrifices. May we be those that seek to honor Him to the depth of our being, in word and deed - in thought and in motive.
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we pray that we may walk in spirit and truth, and live in a way that honors Your name. Help us to grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Enable us to be increasingly Christ-like in our actions, attitudes, mind, and motives so that Your name may be lifted up and others may see Christ in us. This we ask in His precious name, AMEN.
