I strongly believe that worship is the key to a blessed Christian life. The Father is seeking worshippers in spirit and in truth. We need to spend time in worship of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I don't mean the mechanical 'praise & worship' that goes on certain churches. I don't mean contemporary Christian music; certainly not.
I mean that we must open our mouths and praise the Lord. But on what basis? On the basis of Calvary. Remember Romans 8.32. "He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" Remember John 14.14 "If you ask anything in My name, I will do it." On what basis? On the basis of Rom 8.32.
Lord, I pray to you for help, for deliverance, for comfort, for strength,for blessing. Are You going to deny Your help? I'm not coming to You in my own merit. I depend entirely on Your grace & mercy. For Your name's sake, Lord, do it. Your name is Merciful, Compassionate, Gracious; You are Faithful & True; You are my Shepherd; You are my Savior; You are my God. The God of my salvation. Where did you reveal Your mercy, compassion, grace, faithfulness, truth, shepherd-care, deliverance, salvation? On the Cross, the Cross of Calvary. In the Cross of Christ, be my glory forever. Amen.
(I wonder how many of us feel strongly that worship is the key to life & victory in our Christian walk.)
