Worship

Today, I'm going to write as many things as I can remember that the Lord taught me this year, at some time.

I learnt that worship is not just something we do because it pleases God, of course it does, and we do want to please Him. Worshipping God is not just something we do because we want to, though of course we do, and it is not something God arbitarily wants from us. More than that, it is a gift from God. Because it is a great privilege for us to worship Him. Even in the one thing we could give the Lord, ends up it seems He's the one doing the giving.

We don't even deserve to know the Lord, but in giving us the privilege to worship Him, He's letting us know Him, know His goodness and enjoy Him in such great measure. And the Almighty Lord of all lets it matter to Him, He lets Himself be pleased, so pleased when mere man worships Him, though it does not make the least difference, in the sense that God's glory is absolute, unchangeable. And then God treasures our worship, such that we could give Him and He gives it such value. And people could say all kinds of funny things about God because He wants our worship.
