Though supplication through prayer, making one’s needs known before God, was zealously taught David from the time he was a small child, David made his praises primary. It is apparent David sought God that he might know Him, while many were and are now seeking God only as a means to an end. If we had a recorder going 24/7, we might find it very interesting to hear the high percentage of pleas, requests and demands we make of God Almighty, as compared to the percentage of time spent in praise. “BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL,” the Psalmist cries. This is not a cry for assistance or “blessing” for he has not pleaded, “Bless my soul, Lord,“ but rather proclaimed, “Bless the Lord!” (Psalm 104:1) “…the Father seeks such people to be His worshipers.” (Jn.4:23b, Amp)

Hearing Wisdom and Acting
May the Lord graciously help His people to listen when they are supposed to listen, to the people they are supposed to listen to. May they hear clearly and act judiciously and reap the benefit of the principles of Almighty God. “Refuse good advice and watch your plans fail; take good counsel and watch them succeed.” (Prov.15:22, Msg)
Returning to Fellowship
As the people of God assemble today, may there be faith stirred in hearts concerning those who have been absented from the local fellowship. May there be expectancy that they be returned to the fellowship to edify and, once again, take their place on the wall. “May the Lord watch between you and me when we are absent and hidden one from another.” (GEN. 31:49, Amp)
Set a Guard on my Mouth
Let us be careful what we say. The Lord doesn’t want what we speak falling to the ground. (1Sam.3:19) “Set a guard, O Lord, before my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.”Ps. 141:3, Amp)
Especially For an Audience of One
While watching his father’s sheep, David was nurturing that intimate relationship with prayers and songs. The cathedral that echoed his vocal praises was the cathedral of air and hillside which was far removed from gilded halls. The audience upon whose ears the melodious praises fell were only animals who were not able to boast of his talents nor were they able to appreciate these acts the way religious devotees laud those who practice what is expected of them. For David, it was honest and grateful expression of his relationship with God, whether God was the only audience or not.

Trusting God in all Circumstances
Long before David ever became king of Israel, he had a secret relationship with God. There was relationship, communing between David and God, long before he wrote the beautiful Psalms which are part of our worship and meditations today. The Psalms were not the result of a weekend revival nor the result of a trip through a falling-down prayer line. They are the result of a life of worship and trusting God in all circumstances. ”I was once young, but now I’m old. Not once have I found a lover of God forsaken by him, nor have any of their children gone hungry.” (Ps.37:25, TPT)
Worship, a way of Living
When Jesus began to deal with the real need in the life of the woman he met at the well, she tried to get him sidetracked by raising an old argument about worship. The conversation had become 
uncomfortably personal. But since the controversy over where to worship was endless, she hoped to divert Jesus from the subject at hand. Jesus didn’t allow her to control the situation and divert him from the real need. The real need was honesty with God in life, in worship. Worship is not something that takes place in a “sacred location” or “sacred building” or “sacred ceremony.” Worship is a way of living before God as well as offering songs, readings, wave offerings and other such acts of adoration. The true worshiper deals honestly and openly with God at all times, not just in certain locations or at special times.

Worship That Ministers to God
We know that God desires “true worshipers” and Lev. 3:41 captures a true combination when Jeremiah urges, “Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven…” We truly want to worship 
God in a way that ministers to him and the Scriptures clearly show us numerous ways which are acceptable to him. As the loving spontaneity of children delights their earthly father, so our Heavenly Father delights in the spontaneous praising and worshipping of his children. A worshiping example is “Praise the Lord. Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints. Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people of Zion be glad in their King. Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with tambourine and harp. FOR THE LORD TAKES DELIGHT IN HIS PEOPLE; he crowns the humble with salvation (Ps. 149:1-4).
To Walk it out Daily
No matter how young or how old we are, no matter what the current circumstances around us, we dare not agree with opposition in health or time or circumstance or relationships more than we agree that Father God has determined our days. Our purpose is eternal and will continue when we step from this earthly realm into the next. We must remain faithful and full of hope in this earthly dimension, knowing it is the boot-camp development of our character and purpose for the next. We can take rest in the confidence that God has POSITIONED us for His plans. In covenant with our awesome God, it is His part to position our purpose in history. It is our part to walk it out daily. (Last excerpt from Kathy’s article “Positioned for Purpose”.)
