Psalms 50 - Worship

Friday 18 July 2014

No matter what happens - He Is God!

He is in control!
He is on His holy mountain and He does not move!
He is steadfast and constant!
He will not change!
He is holy, holy, holy! Mighty, righteous and true!

Jude 1:24 - Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of                     His glory blameless with great joy.
        1:25 - to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and                           authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
                  (These words were penned by one of Jesus' younger brothers, someone who grew up with Him,                     whose eyes had seen and hands held - What a privilege!)

Psalm 50
 4: He summons the heavens above,
     And the earth, to judge His people:
 5: "Gather My godly ones to Me,
     Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice." (through Jesus)
 6: And the heavens declare His righteousness,
     For God Himself is judge. [Selah.
 7: "Hear, O My people, and I will speak;
     O Israel, I will testify against you;
     I am God, your God. (David would have rather been handed over to God for judgement than man.                                                  Would we not choose the same?)
 8: "I do not reprove you for your sacrifices,
     And your burnt offerings are continually before Me.
 9: I shall take no young bull out of your house,
     Nor male goats out of your folds.
10: "For every beast of the forest is Mine.
      The cattle on a thousand hills. (What can we give God?)
11: "I know every bird of the mountains.
       And everything that moves in the field is Mine. (What can we show God?)
12: "If I were hungry, I would not tell you;
       For the world is Mine,
       and all it contains.
13: "Shall I eat the flesh of bulls,
      Or drink the blood of male goats? (How could we nourish God?)
(God gives us the answer right here)
14: "Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,
      And pay your vows to the Most High;
15: And call upon Me in the day of trouble;
      I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me."

23: "He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me;
      And to him who orders his way aright
      I will show the salvation of God."

Psalm 100
 4: Enter His gates with thanksgiving,
     And His courts with praise.
     Give thanks to Him; bless His name.
 5: For the LORD is good;
     His lovingkindness is everlasting,
     And His faithfulness is to all generations.

So the only thing we can truly give God is our worship. It would seem we need to find out just what true worship entails. Pretty exciting!
