God's Weekly Invitation to Rest, Be Renewed and Rejoice

I hope that you were encouraged by the reminder this morning as we began our gathering that we do not invite God to join us, but that God invites us to join and enjoy Him. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus said, "Come unto me those of you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Did you notice. He says "come to me" and that He will give to us. In worship, we do not come to display our faithfulness, but to become more mindful of His. We do not come to offer God our goodness, but to receive His—and to rest, be renewed and rejoice. Worship is drinking from the fountain of living water and responding with joy and gladness. I trust that you were filled and satisfied with the riches of God's grace today. We've got a long week ahead. It's good to be full.
