That was probably one of the first choruses I sang as a child. Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before. As we enter this new year, I want to ask the question . . . Is it! Is the passion of your heart like Paul's . . . to know Him more and more and therefore to love Him more and more every day? How does that happen? Actually, it is so simple that we in the church today trip over it. The simple fact is if we want to know Him more and love Him more; we need to spend time with Him every day getting to "know" Him as He speaks directly to us from His Word and as we pray, laying out our heart's desires, confessing before Him, and praying for others.
If every person in our congregation attending corporate worship with the body of Christ here locally were to simply worship Him every day this week, it would revolutionize our worship experience together next week. Our worship together will never surpass or go anywhere beyond the private, individual worship of those who gather. If we want to grow in worship as a church, it has to begin with every individual that is part of this local church. May the testimony of our hearts be . . . Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before. If so, we will see the presence and power of the Lord in our church gathered as never before. mjm
