Wonder Of Worship

When you say the word “worship,” myriads of ideas and imaginations come to mind. God through the psalmist directs us in genuine worship: “Exalt the Lord our God; worship at His footstool! Holy is He!” (Psalm 99:5). Imagine [then] how frustrated and infuriated Jesus became at seeing the buyers and sellers front-and-center at the temple! “And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer’; but you are making it a robbers’ den.” (Matthew 21:12-13).  Jesus’ actions left no wonder of what should not have been present in the temple.  What He looked for was missing: Exalt the Lord our God!  Worship at His footstool!  Holy is He!  Believers are now God’s temple – where Christ dwells: what does Jesus find in His temple today? Do we wonder how to rightly worship? “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8).  Purity – Truth – Righteousness – Surrender – Humility – these bring us into His Presence.  O, worship our wonderful King!
