Greater Worship

The bible says that angels bow down before God and continually utter, Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God almighty. It is a worship that results from the impact of being in God’s presence day in and day out. The angels don’t know what it’s like to struggle, to suffer, to go through the things we do here on earth. When I worship, many times I do it even when I can’t feel it. I do it even though I don’t want to.

I’m getting ready to wrap up my day today after spending hours on the street searching for a killer. Yes, a killer. We knocked on doors, talked to people and sat in front of houses we think he may be frequenting. Now, my day is done and I thank God for watching my back once again. I’m physically tired, frustrated and somewhat stressed. I’ve decided to take a moment to sacrifice worship unto my Lord. I don’t feel it, I don’t see it but I must believe it. I’m not worshiping as a result of standing in the midst of God’s glorious presence like the angels do, though I know God is here.  I believe the impact of His presence MAKES the angels worship Him. They worship out of reaction to His glory. I’m worshiping on pure faith. That is all I have in such a terrible world. I believe there’s a great blessing that God pours upon our lives when we worship Him in the midst of our daily turmoils, our daily storms, our daily struggles. Though the bible says that we are temporarily lower than the angels, I believe our worship is greater. It is greater because it is done out of pure faith.

Just remember my friend, learn to worship the Lord not because of the good or bad things surrounding your life, worship God because He is God…..

 Blessings!
