~Worshipping Well

 

 

Lingering thoughts on Worship~

 

On Sundays,

 the day we set aside

 

I have seen ~

 

Hands folded

Hands opened

Hands lifted

 

a heart expressing

worship outwardly,

telling God how much

her love is for HIM.

 

declaring answers to

the whys

of her existence

Created for Fellowship

Created to Worship

 

 

Our Creator and the

 Creator of the Universe

longs for

Praise & Worship.

 

It is He,

 God who desires our fellowship.

 

Worship costs...

requires time & attention

 

But, is HE not worth it?

When it is over,

life on this earth,

 my worship to God

will be all that was of value.

 

 

In His word it speaks of

something filling my spot

in worship.

 

 

His creation can take my place,

because the majesty of God demands worship.

 

The blessings can be ours

when we worship...

we become more like Him.

 

Psalm 24:1-6

The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof;

 The world, and they that dwell therein.

 

For he hath founded it upon the seas,

 And established it upon the floods.

 

Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah?

 And who shall stand in his holy place?

 

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart;

 Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood,

 And hath not sworn deceitfully.

 

He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah,

 And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

 

This is the generation of them that seek after him,

 That seek thy face, even Jacob. Selah

 

 

Her hands

 

folded

open

and lifted

 

are spotted with age

her vision is dim

and her days are

numbered.

She sits in a

wheelchair

at the end of the pew

and lifts her

weak voice

to utter praises

to Him.

 

The sight is mine to treasure

and the heart of God rejoices.

How well do we worship?

 

Lord, may my worship be pleasing to you,

I desire clean hands and a pure heart

 filled with praise to you.
