Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Romans 12:1 ‘Yet let me not, when this morning prayer is said, think my worship ended and spend the day in forgetfulness of Thee.’ John Baillie
The writer of the book of Romans (Paul) seems to suggest that worship is more than just going to a worship service and singing and listening. Think of everything you do today as an offering of worship to God. Pray to be reminded. See if it changes how you go about your day.

Where did you experience stillness or silence today? When you were quiet what did you hear? What noise gets in the way of hearing God? End your day by praying, remembering that God is near.

As our countdown to CHIC is nearing single digits, it is likely that your anticipation and expectations are rising! Soon you’ll be packing your bags, saying goodbye to your family and friends for the week and hitting the road for Knoxville! In the midst of the preparation rush, I challenge you to take a few minutes each day and come before the Lord, asking Him to quiet and prepare your heart. God is already at work preparing amazing things for our week together! Pray for a soft and receptive heart, because He is about to do a marvelous work in your life as you embark upon your CHIC journey! What are you watching for Him to do in your life and the lives of others during our time together? Are you ready for God to fill your heart with wonder as together we become undone?

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10
‘Silence reminds me to take my soul with me wherever I go.’ Elementary schoolgirl from North Dakota
We are unaccustomed to stillness and silence—in our world it is hard to find. Find a place today that is silent (or at least really quiet). Try to clear your mind and just listen. Ask God to help you. Consider making it a daily practice to spend a little time silently listening for God.

Think back over your day. Think of all the places you walked, sat, ate, rested, talked with others, and were alone. Where did you sense God’s presence? How might God have been present without you realizing it? End your day by praying, remembering that God is near.

In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. Psalm 5:3
‘Lord I come with great expectations.’ Steven Curtis Chapman
Start the day today by praying. In your prayer make yourself aware of God. Listen for God and tell him what you need. Spend the day watching for signs of God.
