I once heard someone say that “during our life on earth, we are walking each other home into an eternal life and the presence of God.”
During our earthly life and journeys together, may we enter into times of worship which will act as a prelude to a heavenly time of praise and worship, 24/7, that will be pure and majestic.
Psalm 95 reads:
“Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.”
In this website as we have meditated around some devotionals, questions, answers and insights it will be good to take time to worship the Lord in listening to two or three worship songs or hymns around the start and middle of each month.
Consider Two Definitions of Worship
“Where God is at the centre of things, worship inevitably follows. Where there is no spirit of worship, there God has been dethroned and displaced.” Sinclair B Ferguson
William Barclay, a theologian, says:
“The true, the genuine worship is when man (and woman), through his spirit, attains to friendship and intimacy with God. True and genuine worship is not to come to a certain place; it is not to go through a certain ritual or liturgy; it is not even to bring certain gifts. True worship is when the spirit, the immortal and invisible part of man (and woman), speaks to and meets with God, who is immortal and invisible.”
Ecclesiastical and Classical Worship
In times of change and uncertainty the old hymns remind us that nothing is new under the Sun.
Traditional
In my latest Question and Answer I look at the place, meaning and impact of Miracles in Jesus’s day and for our modern world. I have chosen Welcome to my World by Jim Reeves because it represents a human love song with spiritual meaning that includes a reference to miracles. Enjoy
Contemporary
In life we find that there is always the expected and the unexpected that interplay in our daily lives and aspirations. This beautiful worship song Bless God by Brooke Lingertwood helps us to get a correct focus that in all things it is good to give thanks to God and bless his name, character and love.
Modern
Our last song is more upbeat and straight to the point. When we have our quiet times and church services we have an expectation to meet with the love and power of God. This worship song Show your Power by Jeremy Riddle and Worship Moment encourages us to reach out in faith and prayer that God would show us his power in simple and majestic ways as represented in miracles for today. Enjoy .
“The Lord bless you
and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.”
Also listen to John Rutter’s and the Cambridge Singers’ beautiful rendition of it.
