A Big View Of God

Before bed last night; I read from my "Grace For the Moment" devotional by Max Lucado.

This particular devotional caught my attention about worship & how we magnify God in our lives through our worship. For me, worship isnt just a Sunday church thing. I try my best to acknowlege God in my everyday life and throughout my week.

I found by doing so, God draws closer to me and I can hear him speaking to me in everyday situations and sometimes even....through my dreams at night as well.

A Big View of God

Exactly what is worship? I like King Davids definition. "Oh magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt his name together" (Psalm 34:3)

Worship is an act of magnifying God. Enlarging our vision of him.

Stepping into the cockpit to see where he he sits and observe how he works.

Of course, his size doesnt change, but our perseption of him does.As we draw nearer, he seems larger. Isnt that what we need? A big view of God? Don't we have big problems, big worries, big questions? Of course, we do! Hense, we need a big view of God.

Worship offers that. How can we sing "Holy, Holy, Holy" and not have our vision expanded?
