Worship
the Lord in the splendor of holiness; tremble before Him, all the
earth. Psalm 96:9
He
Alone is Worthy
There
is excitement in praise and worship of God. When I praise and
worship I've experienced in my own life a deep sense of a peace,
release and relief that cannot be explained to a person not
acquainted with Christ.
I
include in my worship Jesus Christ. As the God/Man who is 100% Man
and 100% God He is worthy of adoration, praise and worship. I worship
Him for His obedience to His Father's will that led Him to became the
perfect sacrifice for all sin. I worship Him for His death and
resurrection. The first brought redemption from sin for the entire
world and the second is the promise that all believers will be
resurrected, either through translation or the grave (1st
Thessalonians 4:16,17).
I
worship the Holy Spirit who is also very God of very God. He was
manifested in the early church as totally Divine. I worship Him for
His powerful work in my life, bringing me growth and maturity in my
daily life. He is the Comforter, He is always with me, He is my
Protector, my Teacher, Intimate Friend, Confidant, Guide and
Counselor.
All
three Persons are One in essence and the only Ones worthy to be
worshiped. No one and nothing else can ever be worthy to receive
worship. God alone is worthy. We alone can give it. I cannot
emphasize the exhilaration and joy there is in it. When worship is
done with a willing heart it pleases God to the highest degree. When
I worship I don't ask for anything I just quietly meditate my praise
and adoration of the holiness, might and majesty of His powerful
attributes. Most times I don't even speak but let my heart and mind
go before God to honor and praise Him.
Giving
praise, glory and worship to Him is the ultimate experience for
believers. And it should be. It is a joy unparalleled in our life in
Christ. When you worship Him begin by praising all He has done for
you. Have you eaten today? Praise Him for supplying that need. Do you
have shelter? Praise Him. Thank Him for His marvelous love and
kindness. Worship Him. Meditate upon God's holy character, His power,
majesty and His attributes. If you don't know what those attributes
are do a search on the internet with 'attributes of God' in the
browser. You'll be surprised at the many powerful facets of God's
Person there are. It will astound and encourage you.
As
you worship Him daily you will find God is so vast in His being that
He is unsearchable yet totally fulfilling. Worship the Lord in the
beauty of holiness. It is a beauty that is matchless. It is
confirming, loving, sanctifying and complete. There is no other One
like Him for only He is worthy to be worshiped. You can experience
the beauty of God's holiness through worship. I encourage you to seek
to do it. It will enrich you relationship with God Almighty and
change your life.
