Lift Him Up

Good Morning!! The call to worship should never be just more of "the same old, same". The call to worship demands "a new song" to the Lord,...it demands His praise "from the end of the earth." Many of us have grown up in Christian homes, gone to Christian churches, heard Christian songs and sermons,...maybe even attended Christian schools. As a result, our familiarity with the subject of Christ, can easily lead us to old-hat, absent-minded, parrot-like expressions of worship and prayer. You know, the lines that someone starts, and we finish. That's not worship,...and it simply will not do.

Sing to the Lord a new song, His praise from the ends of the earth,—Isaiah 42:10a (NIV) 

 

This new song, may be an old hymn, newly discovered,...or familiar words, freshly considered,...or new meditations, leading to new exaltations. But we must come to worship with a sincere searching, deeply felt song of praise. On the other hand, there are some who have never heard of Jesus, or who have never considered His claims, or who have rarely and barely been exposed to the Word of God. If this is you,...you may not even know what God expects of you. Well, He demands praise, from every corner,...and every object, of His creation,...none are except. No matter who you are, or what you've done,...where you've been, or where you are, come to Him with reverent fear, and with fresh zeal, and praise Him,...as He deserves to be praised.

For all You've done, and are yet to do,...we praise and worship You.

 

All that we have, we offer up to You Lord God. We will worship and praise You, forever more. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

 

"God's presence is a life preserver, that keeps the soul from sinking in a sea of trouble."
