Wisdom in the Word Wednesday

Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name;

worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

Psalm 29:2

I wonder do we really stand in awe of Almighty God,

or just wander through our days without a clue

that He is nearby just waiting to love us,

to speak wisdom into our hearts and hold us tight.

It is so easy to wander from the closeness we once knew.

Responsibilities can get in the way.

Life can get in between our hearts and the Lord Jesus.

There is no need for distance, for in a moment our hearts and minds can turn back to that tender place of worship.

It is in the mind where the battle is lost or won.

No matter what tasks fill our day,

keeping our hearts and minds focused on

the object of our affection and adortion

fills us with wonder at who Jesus is

and what He has done for us,

and what He has created.

Yes, in the beggining God created.

We do not worship the creation,

but rather worship the Creator.

We ascribe to the Lord the honor that is due Him,

with a heart and mind of holiness.

My mind may begin worshipping God while

it is on the duties of the morning, but soon thereafter

it is accomplishing the duties while gloriuously

praising God for He is worthy to be praised!
