December 27 | The Gift of Worship

Today’s Reading:

Read Revelation 15:3-4

“Great and awe-inspiring are your works, Lord God, the Almighty;
just and true are your ways; King of the Nations.
Lord, who will not fear and glorify your name?
For you alone are holy. All the nations will come and worship before you because your righteous acts have been revealed.” 

Spend some time as a family today worshiping God for who He is. Too often, we spend time only thanking God for all that He does. Instead, today, spend time thanking God for who He is. What are some words you can think of to describe his character? How would you tell a friend about God? Praise Him for who He is. 

When we worship, we place God above everything else! Take time to make Him a priority today.  

Application/Prayer:

Thank God for who He is! 

December Memory Verse:

I have treasured your word in my heart so that I may not sin against you.


Using the daily reading prompts from George H. Guthrie’s Read the Bible for Life, here’s how to use this devotional:
  1. Bring your Bible!  Your kids need to see that everything you are reading to them or learning about comes from an actual Bible!
  2. Each day starts with a reading prompt.  Read the selection as a family.  If your kids are readers, encourage them to read along with you.
  3. After you’ve read the passage, read the short devotional thought that goes along with each passage.
  4. Prayer and application are important any time we read God’s word!  After each devotional, there is a challenge to help apply what your family has read that day.
  5. There is a reading for six days of the week.  The last reading of the week is a Gospel Conversation Prompt to help you connect the reading from the week with God’s plan for salvation.
