When God's People Worship.....
I read an article this afternoon that started, "When God's people worship....."
I think the ending of that statement should be this:
When God's people worship, GOD should be worshipped. GOD should be brought pleasure. GOD should hear the hearts of His people crying out praise and glory to His name alone. GOD should be the one thought and focus of His people.
All the rest - our healing, our receiving, our enjoyment, our being with Him - is just icing on the cake. Good icing (I like icing), but icing nonetheless. Everything in this life is still and always will be all about HIM.
Including His worship.
"You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honour and power. For You created everything, and it is for Your pleasure that they exist and were created." (Revelation 4:11)
