“This week has been a particularly difficult one with many questions, struggles and agonizing prayer for hurting friends. In addition with the last phase of the national elections going on there is a degree of uncertainty for what the results will bring. So with all that going on as I reflected on what God would have us focus on, the truth of His sovereignty and majesty is what came to mind. Whatever chaos is around us in the world, God is still and always will be on the throne and we need to constantly remember that.
A quote from A W Tozer that I read this morning was also very meaningful. He wrote in this piece entitled ‘The Missing Jewel of Worship’, ” I want to define worship and here is where I want to be dogmatic. Worship means to ‘feel in the heart’ . A person that merely goes through the form and does not feel anything is not worshipping. Worship also means to ‘express in some appropriate manner’ what you feel. And what will be expressed? ‘A humbling but delightful sense of admiring awe and astonished wonder.’ It is delightful to worship God, but it is also a humbling thing.”
