Nothing
can bring you into a right relationship with God more than effectual praise and
worship.
Everything
to do with growing in Christ starts with recognition of God’s holy and
unequaled attributes. You start by giving
God a little praise and you worship Him a little, and God does mighty wonders on
your behalf.
Then you loosen up a little and start to praise Him when things aren’t going as well as you would like and you worship Him at times that aren’t convenient and God reveals more of Himself to you.
You open
up a little more and praise Him when things go distinctly awry and you worship
Him when you are angry at God or disappointed with God’s Sovereign hand - and
God hesitates not to pour out His Spirit on you.
We begin
to praise Him in the morning, before you even get fully awake, or you worship Him
at noonday or at lunch - God reveals more of Himself and more and more and as
God reveals His Holiness you begin to see how intricately involved God is in the
everyday affairs of your life.
You begin
to put the pieces of the puzzle together and you start to understand more of the
reasons why - and at the same time the importance of having every answer fades
in the presence of God. God becomes the
reason why. God becomes the answer.
