His Spirit moves through holy plains.
The temple sings, the saints arise,
Shekinah praise ascends the skies.

The world is filled with holy flame,
The Lamb of God, exalt His name.
From age to age His glory stays,
Shekinah light, eternal praise.

O dwelling place, O throne of grace,
The nations see His shining face.
God’s pillar strong, His love secure,
Shekinah praise forever pure.

⚓The Word of the Day
"Do not let any part of your body become a tool of wickedness, to be used for sinning. Instead, give yourselves completely to God since you have been given new life. And use your whole body as a tool to do what is right for the glory of God."
-- Romans 6.13 (NLT)

Introduction: Living Wisely with Time
Time is a divine gift, yet it is also a responsibility. Every moment we spend either draws us closer to God or distances us from Him. Psalm 90:12 is a prayer that God would teach us to steward our days wisely, not wasting them on sin or distractions, but investing them in things that glorify Him.
When we misuse time, we sow regret. But when we redeem time, we sow wisdom that bears eternal fruit.

The Mystery of Life Force: Think about the human body. Cells multiply, organs function, and systems interact in ways science can describe but never fully explain. What keeps them alive? What invisible life force connects them? This mystery points us back to God, the giver of life.
If He sustains our bodies with such hidden power, should we not also trust Him to sustain our souls? Just as cells channel energy to preserve life, we must channel our time toward good things — worship, kindness, and obedience — rather than wasting it on sin.
The Holy Spirit’s Direction:
The Spirit of God is our compass. He whispers when we are tempted to waste time and nudges us toward eternal priorities. He teaches us to align our schedules with heaven’s agenda, reminding us that every moment is sacred.

🎷Closing Hymn
No. 5 (SEC 7): Touch the Hem
Scripture: Mark 5:28
Suggested Tune: Martyrdom (used for “As Pants the Hart”)
Meter: 8.8.8.8 • Key: F Major
1:
I touched the hem—so faint, so still,
Yet faith arose against the chill;
No hand was raised, no word was said,
But healing through His garment spread.
2:
The crowd was vast, the path unclear,
Yet hope pressed on through doubt and fear;
One silent reach, one trembling soul,
And mercy made the broken whole.
3:
O Christ, who felt the secret plea,
Who turned and spoke so tenderly,
Your power flows where faith is found,
And lifts the low from off the ground.
4:
O let me touch, though weak I be,
The edge of grace that flows from Thee;
For in that thread, Your fullness dwells,
And every wound Your love compels.
🙏 Closing Prayer
"Lord, teach me to number my days and to walk in wisdom. Help me to redeem my time, to invest in what matters most, and to live each moment for Your glory. May Your Spirit guide me daily, and may my life reflect Your eternal purpose. In Jesus’ name, Amen."
