Scripture Passage: Psalm 99:5 (NIV)

“Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy.”

Psalm 99 is part of the final collection of enthronement psalms, celebrating God’s reign and holiness. This psalm calls God’s people to acknowledge and reverence His holiness. The reference to “worship at his footstool” brings to mind the tabernacle and temple where God’s presence dwelled, urging believers to gather and worship in reverence.

This verse reminds us that God is holy, set apart in purity, power, and righteousness. The psalmist calls us to “exalt” Him — to lift His name above all else and honor Him by gathering for worship. Though God is omnipresent and we can worship Him anywhere, there’s something unique about corporate worship, about stepping into a church, leaving behind the distractions of home, and gathering with others to glorify God.

Think of a family gathering; while each family member has a unique bond with each other, being together strengthens those relationships. Worshiping with other believers draws us closer to God and one another, building our faith as we share in praise and grow in understanding of His holiness.

How can you prioritize gathering for worship? Consider your regular routine — are there barriers that prevent you from joining a church family in worship? Reflect on how attending church brings you closer to God and to other believers.

This Sunday, take a step of faith to attend church and experience the beauty of worshiping a holy God together. Invite someone to join you, helping them encounter the joy and strength found in communal worship.

Today’s Prayer: Lord, You are holy and worthy of all praise! Help me to honor You by gathering with other believers to worship You. Draw my heart closer to Yours and strengthen my desire to worship You with joy and reverence. Thank You for the gift of a church family that helps me grow in faith. Guide my steps toward Your house, and may my worship bring glory to Your holy name. Amen.
