Majesty, Worship His Majesty..
There is nothing like worship. It somehow frees us from our confined space
and allows us to enter into the “Holy of Holies”. The act of singing as worship is one of my
favorite parts of church service. My
family will tell you that I am singing all the time, mostly worship songs – and
here lately songs from a favorite children’s movie that just came out! But I don’t just limit my act of worship to
singing.
Worship is the act of turning your whole being to something
else. We can worship TV. We can worship food. We can worship other people. We can worship ourselves. But these things will never give us complete
satisfaction. They are limiting, and
they are just unable to give us what we truly desire, a deep intimate
relationship with the creator and author of our lives.
I for one need that reminder from time to time. I tend to get busy – don’t we all! – and I forget
to focus on the Lord. I let other things
come first. I “worship” my activities. And when they come before the Lord He sweetly
and lovingly calls me back.
Why? Because He
desires my worship. Not because He needs
it. But because He wants me to enter
into His presence so that I can have that deep relationship with Him. He desires that I put everything else aside
and just spend time with Him. He wants
to be FIRST in my life.
I have a picture in my bedroom of a young Victorian
woman who is gazing lovingly out the window.
Before her is a piece of paper, and a quill sits almost forgotten in her
hand. She is the perfect picture of
tranquility. When I see the painting I
begin to feel more tranquil. I begin to
relax, and I start to feel just like her.
Quietly reflective.
Just as important to me, okay maybe even a bit more
important, is my cross wall. On the wall
of our stairwell we have over twenty crosses.
Each one is unique. Each one was
either given to us or purchased – or handmade – with the intent of putting up
on that wall. Our family has been
intentional about surrounding ourselves with reminders of our faith. Of who we are, and who we are meant to
be.
It is important to have those reminders. Without them we can simply get too busy,
forgetting to focus on what truly matters.
