Title: The Blessings of Being a Worshipper
Text:
Psalm 29:2 (KJV)
2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
Observation:
I have observed over my lifetime the inexpressible joy that comes into the lives of God's people when they recognize the source of their hope and their help as coming from the Lord, and they give Him the praise and the thanks that are due to Him.
I saw that expressed yesterday in the Facebook update of one of my dear friend's daughter who graduated from college on Sunday.
Have you experienced the blessing that the Psalmist expressed in our text, and which my friend expressed in a Facebook update because of the what the Lord did for her in allowing her to reach one of her lofty goals?
One of the things that she said that got my attention was this, "I feel blessed beyond belief".
I get what she was saying. It is amazing how blessed we are when we give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name; when we worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
The acquiring of knowledge is a wonderful thing. However, faith in God will take you further than knowledge alone could ever take you; faith will take you into the very presence of God.
Why not give yourself completely to God, and His ways; then enjoy the blessings of being in His presence, and experiencing joy unspeakable and full of heaven's glory.
Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, there is no place I would rather be than in the presence of my Lord.
Father God, I am so grateful that I serve a God who loves me with an everlasting love; who knows me better than anyone, but loves me still. O how sweet is the joy of knowing that the more I give of myself to Him, the more I receive from Him.
Father God, the thirst of my soul is, "O for grace to trust You more". In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Song:
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him,
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er,
Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more.
Matthew 4:4 (HCSB)
4 But He answered, "It is written: Man must not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."
Psalm 2:8 (HCSB)
8 Ask of Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance and the ends of the earth Your possession.
