majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of
him in Psalm 122:1,
"I rejoiced with those who said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the Lord.'"
David speaks of a joy of anticipation when invited to go to the house
of the Lord. In verse 4 he says that it is where the tribes of the
Lord go up to praise the name of the Lord.
For me, joy is something that both precedes worship and follows it.
Recognizing the wonderful perfections of our glorious God and
marveling at the wondrous things he has done brings a joy to my heart.
It is the kind of joy that needs to find its appointed expression in
worship. Acknowledging both to God and others his wonderful majestic
splendor and his divine acts become the expressions of worship for me.
In this expression joy is generated in thinking about, meditating on,
mulling over the wonders of God as I express to him my appreciation,
love and adoration - and even astonishment - for all he is.
There is simply no other greater source of joy in this life than that
which attends the true worship of our matchless God!
Anything of the Lord capture your heart from Scripture today? Share
your thoughts of worship with us from your Bible reading today. We'd
love to hear from you!
