Worship Him
Because the Best is Yet to Come!
Some believers feel empty when it comes to worship. It is not an overflowing of gratitude, but a
doubting about where they stand with God. Even feeling like they aren’t good enough or do enough and
they are drained in their inner spirit. I believe the vast majority of these people are
believing the lie that they don’t measure up to deserve God’s goodness because someone who “represents” God to them has disapproved or rejected them.
Gratefulness was our motivation to praise Him, thank Him, obey Him & proclaim Him when we first heard God’s marvelous great news for us and received Christ. There was little striving needed to inspire us.
We were SO amazed at his constant unconditional love. But, then others told us we had to meet certain standards to be acceptable to God. We had to perform certain “rituals.” We had to prove our spiritual worth to men who claimed to be God’s representatives. There was always something more we needed to do.
But
that is NOT what the exceedingly good news of the Gospel tells us. Jesus finished our performance to be accepted and adored as God’s child. He
fulfilled the law FOR US. It is only
out of this knowledge and true understanding that
our love for God flows in return. It is like fountain gushing forth Jesus says. It is NOT our striving, but the Spirit’s humble working.
After many years in Christ, gratitude is still our highest motivation to praise, thank, obey and proclaim Him. Meditating on our forgiven and righteous state naturally produces gratitude. When David was down he told his soul to “Hope in God, for I will YET praise Him.” There is always hope, grace, and joy YET TO COME. His
promises are full of this truth. So, in confidence of his eternal adoring acceptance of us and his breakthrough for us yet to come, we worship him. Be lifted up by this PraiseMob scene.
