Morning and Evening Worship

[Thompson, Darryl]

Morning and Evening Worship 

     O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord
our maker. Ps. 95:6  

     The Lord has a special interest in the families of His children
here below. Angels offer the smoke of the fragrant incense for the
praying saints. Then in every family let prayer ascend to heaven both at
morning and at the cool sunset hour, in our behalf presenting before God
the Saviour's merits. Morning and evening the heavenly universe takes
notice of every praying household.  

     Come in humility with a heart full of tenderness and with a sense
of the temptations and dangers before yourselves and your children; by
faith bind them upon the altar, entreating for them the care of the
Lord. Ministering angels will guard children who are thus dedicated to
God.  

     Family worship should not be governed by circumstances. You are not
to pray occasionally, and when you have a large day's work, neglect it.
In thus doing you lead your children to look upon prayer as of no
special consequence. Prayer means very much to the children of God, and
thank offerings should come up before God morning and evening. Says the
Psalmist, "O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise
to the rock of our salvation."  

     It should be a pleasure to worship the Lord. . . . He desires that
those who come to worship Him shall carry away with them precious
thoughts of His care and love, that they may be cheered in all the
employments of daily life, that they may have grace to deal honestly and
faithfully in all things.  

     In the home it is possible to have a little church which will honor
and glorify the Redeemer. 

                   *     *     *     *     *  

     When we have good home religion we will have excellent meeting
religion.
