“Give honor to the Lord, you angels; give honor to the Lord for His glory and strength. Give honor to the Lord for the glory of his name. Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness.” Psalms 29: 1-2 (NLT)

When I was in second grade, I remember coming home from school with headaches. My mom took me to the eye doctor and that was the year I began to wear glasses. And now many years later, I can tell my eyesight is changing once again…I think they call it “old age.”

Have you ever thought that as Christians we sometimes have trouble with “I” sight? Unlike eyesight that blurs our vision of the world, “I” sight blurs our view of ourselves. Some see our selves too highly! Brazenly self-assured and utterly self-sufficient –  the I-focused have long strutted beyond the city limits of self-confidence and entered the state of cockiness. But then there are some of us who have the air of self defeat. These are two extremes of poor “I” sight, self loving and self-loathing.

Have you ever wondered how we can stay right in the middle not on the self-loathing side or the self loving side? Counseling? Chocolate? Long walks? These all could work, but they don’t compare with God’s cure for poor “I” sight……Worship.

Honest worship lifts our eyes off self and sets them on God.  I love the fact that we don’t have to wait until Sunday morning in church to worship the Lord! This can happen anywhere!

“Lord, I want to take this time just to worship you! I want to focus on You and all that You have done for and through me!  You are the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings! I worship You!”

For His Glory
