Commitment to Christ - Worship

:: 17:: Greatness and grandeur are in front of him; strength and joy are in his place. Give to the Lord, all families of the nations—give to the Lord glory and power! Give to the Lord the glory due his name! Bring gifts! Enter his presence! Bow down to the Lord in holy splendor! (1 Chronicles 16:27-29)

Worship is not so much a matter of willpower as it is the realization of wonder. If you struggle in your desire to worship, it may be because you have yet to grasp what worship is all about.

According to the passage of Scripture above, the glory we ascribe to God is not something that we conjure in our imaginations; it's something that is deserved. It is God’s “due.” What might this mean? Just think about what Jesus did for you - don't you think that in itself is worthy of our devotion?

Jesus Christ should be the rightful object of your desires. I believe Jesus is “just what you’ve always been wanting.” Look upon him. Let him stir your soul.

Holy and Blessed Creator and lover of my soul, you are worthy of all glory and praise. Amen.
