WHERE IS MY HEART?
Today's reading: Matthew 14-16

"These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far away. Their worship is a farce, for the replace God's commands with their own man-made teachings." Matthew 15:8-9 NLT

I'm already thinking about tomorrow.

The Lord's Day.

My Sunday School lesson.

Where each of us three are scheduled to be--Kings' Kids, greeter duty, ushering?

I've even laid out my outfit for tomorrow, it's pressed and ready to go.

I'm even planning ahead by putting everything in the crockpot today for Sunday lunch.

And then I read these words.

These words written in red.

These words that talk about where my heart might be.

Because if I'm already concerned about inconsequential things regarding tomorrow, where will my heart be when I gather with my church family to worship?

Will I worship or will I be mentally planning Monday?

Will I attend service but not be there in spirit?

Will I be thinking through my week or focusing on the Word of God presented by the pastor?

I want my heart to be involved in worship-today and tomorrow. I don't want it to be anywhere else!
