Worship is transcendent wonder.
Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881, Scottish philosopher, author)
Ecclesiastes 3:14
I know that all God does will last forever; there is no adding to it or taking from it. God works so that people will be in awe of Him. (HCSB)
Jesus implied to us that we must each come to him as a little child. There is much to glean from this. We seem to lose the wonder and awe of childhood quickly, especially in today’s tech world. You remember that overwhelming feeling when you first saw an elephant up close, and do you remember the podium that you might have put your dad or mom on, wow…they could do anything.
Well, that is part of our problem today, we do not see how awe inspiring, and awesome our God is. We do not consider it, or ponder it, we have grown up, we are bigger now, and we know better, right? Listen to David’s words in Psalm 5:7 “But I enter Your house by the abundance of Your faithful love; I bow down toward Your holy temple in reverential awe of You.”
I think that we need to take another look at our God. We need to be aware, every day that we walk, of the very wonder of the ground under out feet, the oceans that surround us and the starry wonder of the heavenly host over our heads. Even down to the heart that beats within our very bosom and we are to declare His praise to the heavens, and then go to His house, in reverential awe of who God is, Amen, and Amen…God Bless.
