CHANGED IN HIS PRESENCE<br />

11).<br />

Th<strong>in</strong>k about the idea that God, the creator of<br />

heaven and earth, wants to be your friend. Jesus<br />

told his disciples <strong>in</strong> the book of John, "I no longer<br />

call you servants, but friends." He created us for<br />

fellowship, remember?<br />

Notice when Moses and the people rose and<br />

worshipped, each man was <strong>in</strong> his tent door. They<br />

were worshipp<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> their homes. Worship is not<br />

This woman took her most valuable<br />

possession, an the alabaster box of very costly<br />

oil, broke the box and poured it on Jesus' head.<br />

Worship is br<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g our most valued possession,<br />

our heart, break<strong>in</strong>g it open and pour<strong>in</strong>g the oil of<br />

our worship on the Master.<br />

There is no greater desire <strong>in</strong> my heart than<br />
