God doesn't necessarily care about our physical appearance going into his presence, rather he looks at the heart and how it is prepared for him. We need to acknowledge it is only by grace and mercy that we are able to go into the presence of God in the first place. Preparing our hearts looks different from person-to-person, but it should be necessary so we can get the most out of a worship experience.
I completely agree with this chapter because sometimes when I'm in such a rush I need to remember who I am worshipping and how it is by grace I can go into his presence. Leaving the crazy mess of life behind and handing our burdens to him is a gift that we get simply by being Gods child. Going into worship with thay atmosphere will change the way we view worship.

Chapter 27
This chapter is about being mentally, physically, and spiritually ready to lead. We need to live our lives constantly ready , relying on the promises of God. If we commit ourselves to God our plans will succeed. We need to be ready to be used by God at any time and be obedient if he tells us to do something. It's not by our power amazing things happen. Where we end, is where God begins, and where God begins lives are changed.
I like this chapter because sometimes I forget to put my full reliance on God and his promises. If we hold steadfast to Gods promises he will be faithful and guide us the way he wants us to go.

Chapter 15: exercising diplomacy
This chapter basically talks about how at times there can be friction between people, which is normal because we're all humans. We need to keep in mind that it is the enemies strategy to try and break apart what the lord brought together. Also working through certain situations, to an extent to try and work through what is going on.
This chapter specifically speaks to what a lot of people go through in life. Conflict happens because unfortunately, we live in a fallen world. Working through things knowing and having the mindset of grace and mercy are keys to working through hard situations in our life.
