Welcome Church Family to eHomily!

I love worship! I admit it-not ashamed of it! I look forward every week to begin my week with the worship of the Lord. It is top priority! God has been good to me and with the psalmist I agree: "Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise" (Psalm 48:1). And we should all respond positively to the psalmist's invitation: "Come let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker for He is our God" (Psalm 95:6).

 

It is a source of great joy to me, and a humbling thing, to know (according to Scripture) that I bring pleasure to the heart of God by my pure praise of Him. He "inhabits the praises of His people" (Psalm 22:3). I, as a lowly creature, can touch the heart of God, the Creator and sustainer of the universe, by my true adoration and worship of Him. Think about it: As the recipients of God's grace, we can in turn, by His grace, bless the One who bestowed upon us His grace. We can lavish upon Him our love and adoration and know that He takes pleasure in this. Why would I ever desire to miss an opportunity to gather with the Lord's family and bless my Lord and Savior?

 

Besides this, worship truly makes a difference in my life. I am a different person having been in the presence of the King! Worship changes me-and for the better!

 

William Temple wrote in his book The Hope of a New World the following:

 

Worship is-

to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God,

to feed the mind the truth of God,

to purge the imagination with the beauty of God,

to open the heart to the love of God,

and to devote the will to the purpose of God.

 

Indeed, I am a changed person having experienced a true encounter with the living God in worship! Just the thought makes me look forward to Sunday as we gather together as family before our Lord...

 

This Sunday Part 2 of Worship Makes a Difference from Luke 4:14-21.

 

Blessed and More Blessed,

Pastor Ron
