I pray that you start every day with God. I chose to read daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “True Worshipers.” John Blase wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is from John 4:19–26. The key verse is, “True worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and truth.” John 4:23. My beloved brothers and sisters in Christ; before I write, I first pray to God to guide my words to serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led me to use Our Daily Bread Ministries to inspire comments and witnessing.
Background:
In John 4:19–26 took place when Jesus asked a Samaritan woman to draw water for Him from a well (John 4:7). This event is significant because “Jews [didn’t] associate with Samaritans” (Joh4:9), and the handling of anything held by a Samaritan would make Jesus ceremonially unclean. Jesus tells the woman about her life and many husbands (John 4:16–18). She sees that he is a prophet in verse. After Jesus explains that our worship location isn’t significant, the woman mentions the Messiah (John4:25). Jesus tells her in verse 26 that He’s the Messiah.
Reflect:
What difference does it make to you knowing that God is spirit, always and ever-present? What will you praise Him for at this moment?
My Comments to You:
Jesus declares the time had arrived when worship was no longer specific to a place, but a Person: “the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth” (John4:23). God isn’t limited to any mountain or physical space. He’s present with us everywhere. The true pilgrimage we make each day is approaching His throne as we boldly say, “Our Father,” and He is there. I will praise him as “The Omnipresent. Omniscient, and Omnipotent One”. I can worship him anytime and anywhere.
My Prayer for Us:
Father, thank You for Your constant presence no matter where we are
