2/21/10: Straight from the heart

Main Point: I was made to worship God

Bible Verse: You are my God. I worship you. In my heart, I long for you. - Psalm 63:1

Bible Story: Seeking God's Face in Worship (Psalm 63:1-8)
I'll be talking about how King Saul wants to kill David because he knew that God has chosen David to be the next King of Israel. Even in the midst of someone trying to murder him. He still praises God no matter what. He was in the desert of Judah during this Psalm on this earth. - Psalm 100:1

There was a man in the bible Praise God no matter what. I’m talking about David. King Saul knew that God has chosen David to be the next king of Israel, so Saul and his men began chasing David through the desert, trying to murder him. But David never stopped trusting and praising the Lord. Read Psalm 63:1. Just as David’s body became desperate for water as he hid in the desert so David’s soul was desperate to Worship God. Read Psalm 63:2 David thought back how things used to be when he was able to go into the sanctuary to worship the Lord. Even though David could not worship in the sanctuary now, he praised the Lord right where he was. We don’t have to praise God only at PIF Kids but we can praise God when we are at home or in school. Read Psalm 63:3-4 Even though David was in the middle of the desert eating whatever he could put his hands on, his focus was on God instead of food. Worshiping God was as exciting to him as it would be if he could escape the desert and eat a delicious meal. Psalm 63:6-7 David said he thought about God before he went to sleep and during the night. He knew God was protecting him, so he sang happy songs. Psalm 63:8 Kids wherever you go – even if it’s a lonely and dark desert- you can feel close to God and let him help you. We can worship God in every situation.
