Call to Worship God, to Gather Together
Psalm 29:2
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness.
The simplest way to define worship is that it is to attribute worth to God’s revealed character. The command to “ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name” in Psalm 29:2 does not mean we add anything to God. It simply means that we acknowledge Him for who He is and in this way glorify or honor Him. This is precisely what is being done in heaven. (Revelation 4:11, 5:12)
~ William Thrasher
Revelation 4:11
"You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.”
~ twenty-four elders who fall down before Him
Revelation 5:12
In a loud voice they were saying:
“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!”
~ ten thousand times ten thousand angels
Prayer
Father God, today in worship we get a chance to feast with You at the table of Your word and gifts, a foretaste of life with you in eternity. We get a chance to hear from You, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has made us one with You. Bless our time of worship and may we continue to see people flow through the door of Jesus into life with You. We pray in the name of Jesus our Lord. Amen.
