An Idea Borrowed

Years ago on a radio program someone shared that they read a chapter in Proverbs every day. Since there are 31 chapters and the longest month has 31 days it allows you to read through Proverbs on a regular basis. I use it as the launch pad for my personal worship time and branch out from there. On this blog I will try to share some of the insights I have in the Word. I will try to organize them in the archive by reference.

Key Element

(1Ch 16:29 KJV)  Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

(Proverbs 19 also read)

The phrase, “Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness” came to my mind.  I wondered if it was “His Holiness,” so I looked it up.

We need to remember that the key element in our worship experience is always available.  That is the Lord God himself.  The key element is not our mood.  It’s not how we feel about things.  In a sense it’s not even our attitude, although that certainly can block us from coming into His presence.

The glory of worship is that we are coming into the presence of the living God.  Actually, we were not even coming into His presence, because we are always there.  He is with us, He is watching, He is upholding.  What we need to do is to reach out and touch Him and worship Him in the beauty of His Holiness.

So?  I guess you could wait for Sunday but God offers so much on a “now” basis.  Worship.  You might want to pull over to the side of the road if you don’t multi-task well.
