In church on Sunday our preacher spoke
about worship. What stunned me is that he chose scriptures, that in
my traditional mind, had nothing to do with worship or didn't even
make me think of it, but by the time he was done with his sermon I
saw it clearly.
Lately I have been bored with my normal
reading of the Epistles so I thought I would scamper through some of
the minor prophets and would you believe it???? There in the middle
of all the “hell fire and brimstone” arguments were some of the
most amazing scriptures that exalted God and brought the presence of
God near.
Yes, when you are looking for it,
worship can be seen everywhere in scriptures. In the good, in the
bad, in the ups and in the downs of every story that is told, our
majestic God is glorified. So too, God is glorified in every joy and
every pain of our own lives. In the sadness, in the triumphs, in the
failures and in the jubilation's of everyday life, God is glorified in
them all.
But how is that possible, you may ask?
Because God is not limited to happiness, success and joy! Scripture
tells us in Hebrews that Jesus was acquainted with our pains and
sufferings, with our temptations and our weaknesses, yet he still
managed to die and rise again in majestic glory.....
How?
By the spirit of God......for it is not
by might, nor by power, but by my spirit says the Lord!
