“Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; for He is holy” (Psalm 99:5).

Dad gathered his family around in the family room for evening Bible reading and prayer time. The family enjoyed calling this “family devotions.” Dad sat in his favorite chair with Jeff sitting on his lap. Before he could start, Mandy climbed up as well to snuggle in for the Bible reading. Putting his feet up on the footstool, Dad picked up the Bible and began to open it to the next Psalm they would be reading. Danny and Luke knew there was no more room on Dad’s lap, so they quickly settled in on the floor near to him. Mom loved to see their children eagerly joining the family for devotions. Then it happened. Dad read about worshipping God at His footstool. “What does that mean, Dad?” Luke asked. Dad explained that it meant to picture ourselves bowing at His feet. Danny looked at Luke, and Luke nodded. Both of the boys immediately bowed down at their dad’s feet on his footstool. After settling the giggling down, Dad reminded his family of how holy and awesome our Lord is. We have the privilege of worshipping and bowing at His feet. Doesn’t that bring joy to your heart today?

For today: He is worthy of our worship and obedience. His feet are a good place for me to be. How about you?
