Does everybody have trouble getting ready for church on Sunday mornings? I have to admit it has definitely gotten better at our house, but, it is still not great. I think God is busy getting everybody (preachers, Sunday school teachers, servants, just general congregation attendees) prepared that day. I think the devil knows we are weak that day and time. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit is with us all, we just have to call it in, call on Him, and rely on Him to help us fight the enemy and get ready.
The devil knows we are weak and Sunday mornings are prime time. We are running out of fuel from the last visit to church, which was probably Wednesday nite. And if you're like me, I was serving and not sitting in service being fed. I was fueling up pre-teen, jr. high youth. So anyway, my reserves are pretty low on Sunday morning. That's when I'm weak. So I get aggravated easy. Testy. And it takes until I get into worship and start fueling back up sometimes to get out of that "funk".
We fight amongst our families. We're not happy with what we're wearing, our make-up, hair, etc. And by the time we get to church...Broken.
Lord, I am so thankful for my church - my pastor - the Word - and WORSHIP. Thank you for allowing me to recognize, ask forgiveness, and heal.

Some Scriptures that have been repeated lately
Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. James 5:16
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:5 (NIV)
"David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them. 'I cannot go in these,' he said to Saul, 'because I am not used to them.' So he took them off." (1 Samuel 17:39).
All these have different areas in point. But, they've all been repeated several times this past week. In church, in my devotionals, and in my Bible study. Even in my Jr high youth class. So I thought I should pass them along.
