Worship for Today: Just and true are the Lord's ways.

The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing,
majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of
him in Revelation 15:3-4,

"Great and marvelous are your deeds,
Lord God Almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
King of the ages.
Who will not fear you, O Lord,
and bring glory to your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship before you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed."

This song of Moses, sung by believers in heaven, acknowledges
something very important to me given the world we live in today, "Just
and true are your ways, King of the ages."

Today's world seems to be running amuck. The powers that be appear to
be motivated by a less than honorable and honest agenda, justice seems
to have gone awry, that which is good and appropriate has has been
replaced with that which is perverse, unholy and ungodly. Quality of
character has been exchanged for the selfish pursuit of power and
wealth.

There doesn't seem to be an anchor to cling to, any where to hang your
hat for that which is upstanding and right. But I am reminded here
that the Lord God Almighty is coming. He is King of the ages and "just
and true" are his ways. His way is the only way that will be enduring.
As the Lord tarries, providing opportunity for more folks to turn to
him, to join his kingdom, we look forward to, longingly, for that time
when all creation will again be bowing the knee to him. "Who will not
fear you, O Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are
holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous
acts have been revealed."

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!
