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.
From now until May 13th Cherry’s Creations has a list of downloadable art on sale. Each one is a beautiful reminder of who the Lord is. His majestic power. His abiding joy and peace.
