Worship the Lord

"This is the paradox of Christian worship. We seek the invisible, know the unknowable, comprehend the incomprehensible, and experience the eternal. Like David we thirst after God and we're satisfied and dissatisfied at the same time. Like Moses, we cry out for His Glory, all the while knowing that our mortal eyes could never behold God's glory in its fullness."

(Warren Wiersbe, Real Worship)


What a beautiful statement. It perfectly captures the essence of our worship of our God, the Lord of all.

I've been thinking a lot about worship lately, trying to focus on Jesus and His grace. But sometimes it's so hard, my mind wanders and centres in my own failings, my own weaknesses and sins. I begin to lose perspective and it becomes just another THING I DO, another thing I struggle with, another thing I'm never gonna be good at, as opposed to my life as a LIFE OF WORSHIP. I get so caught up with the technicalities and all that, the things which COULD be part of worship, things which could help my expression of worship to my God, but ultimately things which are NOT worship in itself.

I don't ever want to make my worship about anything else other than my Lord Jesus. I don't ever want to lose the wonder of the creator God from whom everything we know and have has come from. I want to ALWAYS be overcome by awe as I sing to my Jesus, my Saviour.

The Westminister Confession states,"Man's chief purpose is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever."

In our different pursuits in life, and in our attempt to "progress" in our expression of worship, let us never ever steal the glory away from the Lord.

Augustine said,"You have made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in you."

We should be most satisfied when God is most glorified.
