Do you sometimes think how disjointed we might be in our adoration of God? Worship is not something longed for by many. It's just a place to hang out because it's Sunday. Now I am speaking general terms here. When was the last time you looked so forward to worshiping God with His body? Or a matter greater, when is the last time you adored God with thanksgiving and praise simply because you belong to Him while at home or the office? Nothing scheduled but simply a heart of praise. Sometimes I wonder if the only time we give our Father and loving Savior praise is when the word shows up in a song or Scripture.
Let's turn the page. Listen to us at times. We openly speak of a sports team, a world catastrophe, an election or our children and grandchildren and make every point about that we can. Where is the praise to God? Where is the speaking of our glorious Father to one another? When was the last time you were speaking with another and said, "I was reading Scripture and listen to what I found in our Lord?"
One more step forward. Is the only praise and thanksgiving that flows from our hearts and lips are from 10-noon on Sundays? And we pick it back up again on Sunday evening? Or maybe our national holiday of Thanksgiving? That's all we have? That's all that's going on in our heart?
The greatest blessing, THE GREATEST BLESSING of all is the salvation we possess in Jesus. From doom to salvation and you earned nothing.What a Savior! What a love demonstrated on our behalf. It thrills our hearts when our children or grandchildren says something so loving, unrehearsed and we share that with others. What about the Lord? How much do we really adore the God of our salvation? Your heart praise says it all!!
