Tuesday Thought -- September 18, 2012


Good Morning Friends,

“Ascribe to the LORD, O mighty ones, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.  Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.” (Psalm 29:1-2)

God deserves to be worshiped.  His holiness is perfect.  There is no one else like Him in holiness.  His strength is beyond our grasp.  Nothing is impossible for God.  His grace and mercy are boundless.  No one is beyond the extent of His grace.  His glory fills all of heaven and spills over into this world.

God deserves to be worshiped.  He deserves to be worshiped by the mighty ones.  He deserves to be worshiped by every being in heaven, from the lowest rank of angels to the highest archangels.

And God receives worship from them.  The angels constantly give their worship to the Lord.  They were created to worship and serve God and they will do so for all of eternity.

God deserves our worship, too.  We, too, were created to worship and serve God.  But God doesn’t force us to worship Him.  He longs for our worship.  Jesus said He seeks worshipers.  “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.” (John 4:23)  He is seeking worship from you and me.

He deserves worship from us.  He seeks worship from us.  He is waiting to receive our worship.

Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name.  Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness!

His, by Grace,

Steve
