December 5, 2025 – A Day To Worship

A Day To Worship
December 5, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Ezekiel 46:3
Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.

 

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

 

     I am a firm believer that people who say they love the Lord should want to be in the Lord’s House when it is open, and the body of Christ is there. For example, I love my wife. Wouldn’t it be crazy to just want a picture of her and not want to be where she is? Knowing the church is the body of Christ, it makes no sense to me for people not to want to be around the body of Christ if they truly love the Lord.

 

     Whenever I preach on the subject of people being in God’s house on the Lord’s Day, referring to Sunday, it never fails that I hear someone say, “Every day is the Lord’s Day.” Which interpreted means, “I will go to church when I want to, and do not you or anyone else try to tell me when to go.” Another good one I hear is, “We are no longer under the law, we are under grace.” Interpreted, “I will do what I want.”

 

     It is true; every day is the Lord’s Day. However, this has been true forever, not just today. It is also true that we are under grace, but there are some rules of life that we still need to follow. No one argues about the commandment “thou shalt not kill” because it is still a good rule by which to live our lives. God set up certain days to gather His church together and worship Him. In the Old Testament, it was the Sabbaths and other special Holy Days. In the New Testament, it is recorded that they meet on the first day of the week. The day the Lord arose from the tomb (John 20). It was the day the Disciples would come together to break bread (Acts 20). It is the day we are to lay up in store as we have prospered (1 Corinthians 16). A day set aside to worship our risen King. A day we call The LORD’S DAY.

 

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

 

   God is a God of order. If there were no set day to go and worship together, then everyone would go at different times and on different days. What would become of the preaching of the gospel, the fellowship of the saints, the gathering to exhort one another? Start to prepare today to be in God’s house with God’s people for God’s purpose on the day set aside by God’s plan. See you in Church on Sunday.

 

What are your plans for this coming Lord’s Day?

 

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage and today’s Devotion?

 

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

 

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
