Today is Christmas Eve....and I am grateful that Jesus came into our world. He came to bring us salvation, love, light, peace....and many other wonderful gifts. But, the gift I am especially thankful for this morning is worship.
Ever since I was a little girl, I have been totally enamored with the visitors in the nativity scene. Every one of them, the Bible says, bowed down and worshipped Jesus. Shepherds, and angels, and 3 wise men. Regardless of their position in life....every one of them had the same response to the presence of Jesus.
Is this my response?
Today and tomorrow, it will be a very natural response to our familys focus on the gift God gave us in Jesus. But, what about next week, next month and later in the Spring, etc. What about when we're not singing the carols and turning on the Christmas tree lights? Will my heart be in tune to sing His praises and worship Him for who He is, then? I hope so. It is my hearts desire. Worship is more than just a song to sing. It's a lifestyle of seeking Jesus with all my heart and glorifying HIM. A lifestyle that is always on God's terms, not mine. My daily walk with Jesus will determine how I worship Him.
"Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness." ~ Psalm 29:2
"Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen." ~ 1 Timothy 1:17
