“The trumpeters and singers joined in unison, as with one voice, to give praise and thanks to the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, they raised their voices in praise to the LORD and sang: “He is good; his love endures forever.” Then the temple of the LORD was filled with a cloud.” 2 Chronicles 5:13 (NIV)
Bringing glory to His name and praising His awesome goodness. It’s what we are called to be – true worshippers in Spirit and in truth. However, the level of our worship and praise is directly linked to our heart relationship with God.
When we are fully engaged with our awesome Creator, our worship spills over and impacts all of our relationships. It influences our decisions, supersedes our insecurities and ignites our passion to serve God fully.
So how’s it going? Are we maneuvering through the motions of superficial worship denying the transforming power of a heart knit with our Creator?
We may play the part – hands raised, voices lifted. We perhaps portray the right image of one who is spirited in worship engaged fully experiencing the energy. We could sing those songs and clap our hands in our sleep. But if our lives don’t reflect the One we worship then we are missing the filling of His glory. If the words we sing don’t penetrate our hearts than we are missing the sweet aroma of obedience. And if we walk away and wonder what’s next then we just missed an audience with our King.
“Father, give us one glorious ambition to know and follow hard after You. To soak in Your love and spill over your grace as You fill us with Your glory.”
For His Glory
